 It was May of 2020 and my girls (my oldest daughter and her girlfriend (now Fiancé)) were trying to find ways to stay busy during Covid.  One way they found was to have a wine and paint night!  None of us really knew what we were doing but that was okay, we were having fun and enjoying ourselves.  We would get ideas from Pinterest and pick a picture and then try to pain it.  The girls had been messing around with paints more than I had at the time. I picked my first picture and I wanted to do a moon with a willow tree.  Below you will see my first painting ever!! Crazy to see that and to what I can do now. This is my second painting.  I found I enjoyed blending colors together. I loved watching the colors blend to see the  next color it would create. We ended up having several little paint night together.  Each time we got a little more adventurous with our choices. As time went on through out the year and into 2021 we would continue our pai...

 Welcome to my journey of discovering my passion for painting nature as I see it.  I am a self-taught artist, I have been painting for almost 3 years now.  I love creating landscape paintings using acrylics.  Art has become a huge part of my life. I've always been creative and have done various forms from scrapbooking, crafts, writing, coloring, journaling/blogging and photography. Being creative is an outlet for me that has brought balance to my life especially in the tough moments that life can bring. I enjoy sharing with others and finding ways to put a smile on their face.  I've always found ways to be creative.  It brings me joy, balance and peace. I want my paintings to bring joy and peace to others.  I hope my paintings can create a mood for each of you that takes you to a happy place or a place of solace that you might be needing at the time. Nature inspires me and helps me to feel at peace and helps to keep balance and movement to move forward...
