I vividly remember when I was 3 and made my first finger-painting declaring I wanted to be an artist. At age 8, I started oil painting lessons and as it was an adult class, Grandma said she would go with me and learn to paint. It’s such a sweet memory.  

I took every art class I could in HS and received my BA in art education and 20 years later an MA in art museum education. I taught art in Texas for 25 years. 

Upon moving to Idaho in 2007, I quickly engaged with the wonderful art community of Boise, I was a founding board member of the Treasure Valley Artist Alliance and am currently a member of BOSCO and PAPI and look forward to the weekly meet ups at Edwards and at local parks along the Boise River riding my bike with my painting gear. 

I mainly paint in acrylics but I have been known to mix and layer any combo of acrylics, water soluble oils, pencils, pastels, gouache, watercolor and marker. 

My business name is “Every Little Thing” as I also make assemblages using every little thing I can find. February 2026 I will be teaching a Seniors Create month long assemblage workshop at the Boise Art Museum and this summer will mark my 4th year as Artist in Residence at Tallac Historic Site on Lake Tahoe, where I paint the local scenery.
