I have been painting since preschool days. My artist mom would use teaching me art as entertainment. What started as childhood fun developed into a desire for art lessons. The first lessons were in watercolors and hand made and painted ceramics. In my adult years I became a business career woman but, I still took time for my art passion and took selected workshops and lessons from outstanding teachers. I have sold paintings in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Germany and Oregon. I was born in Oklahoma, graduated in New Mexico and Oregon, I married an army career man and traveled to many countries. I am now married to Paul Dolan who is very encouraging and supportive so I am still pursuing my present passion of Pastels and Oil Painting in Oregon.
