I have been painting for over 25 years, in Indianapolis, IN. I received a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts in Painting from Herron School of Art.  In the past year I served as the Executive Director of the Art Association of Henry County (AAHC) in New Castle IN.  My goal was to bring more art accessibility to the community through our gallery, arts park, classes and events such as concerts and fund raisers.  I held the office of President on the Herron Alumni Association from 2004 through 2006 and served on the board for 10 years.  I am a member of the Stutz Artist Association, IDADA (Indianapolis Downtown Artist Association), Indianapolis Art Museum and listed on IndyArts.Org www.indyarts.org. I have participated in many local and regional juried shows and encourage the growth of the local arts.   I am fortunate to have placed several of my paintings in the Mayor of Indianapolis executive offices, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful Corporate offices, Circle Theater for the ISO, and the Indianapolis Zoo.  My work can be seen across the country in California, Florida, Kansas, Wisconsin & Tennessee.
