ARTIST'S BIO
My family left Oregon and moved to Southern
California when I was a small child. I grew up in California, married, and raised three daughters, but always dreamed of
returning to my home state. In 1998 my husband and I realized that dream when we moved to
the Central Oregon Coast.
I paint in both oils and pastels.
