Artist's Statement:

My art has evolved and matured as I have over the last 52 years. First, I was just an illustrator doing reproductions realistically using black and white scratchboard. Reality is still my style, but I now search for a soul in my subjects and a message in my depictions. Observing nature was my education and pushing my medium beyond its limits became my goal. Above accomplishing that I have educated a generation on the techniques used in the medium and hopefully passed on my passion. Now I feel as if I am a true artist who speaks with her work.
