I enjoy focusing on faces of both people and animals. My work tends to be close ups of me, my cats, chickens or people I know and love. My techniques include watercolor collage with torn paper in several layers and watercolor with prisma and inks. I graduated from Kendall College Of Art & Design in the winter of 1990 with a major in Illustration and minors in Fine Arts and Graphic Design .I have been accepted into Festival several times, most recently 2017, This year I was also accepted in the West Michigan Regional Competion. I was also accepted in Muskegon Museum of Art's 89th Regional Exhibition in May. In 2002, I won a Festival Award. The next year I won the Salhaney Old Techniques / New Way Award with a self-portrait. In 2005, I won third place in the West Michigan Regional Competion. I have also won People's Choice awards at the Frames Unlimited Annual Associates' Art Show.
