I always dreamed of becoming an artist. After 17 years as owner and operator of a retail business (C House) I retired and began my new adventure as an artist, starting with watercolors. I am primarily self-taught, with the help of the Island Art Association members encouraging me all the way. I enjoy the opportunity to paint this wonderful area in which we live in large versions as well as in miniature. I am a member of the Jacksonville Watercolor Society and the Amelia Island Art Society. My paintings hang in many homes, offices and foreign countries.
