Several years ago, I was challenged by a friend to set aside my fear of failure and attend to the creative urge swimming inside me. He loaned me his brushes, paints and gave me a canvas. That day changed me forever. I find pure pleasure in the act of painting - the movement of paint on a canvas, the mistakes that can change a piece for the better, the constant problem solving, the unknown end and even the smell of the paint. My paintings are simple, whimsical, colorful, and often accidental. I play in the paint to create unlikely shadows and occasionally hide objects. I am inspired by poetry, music, people, moods, objects in my home and art. I paint to learn who I am. In 2001, although still an emerging artist, I was selected to illustrate a children’s book for the Butterfly Pavilion. It is titled, Morpha, A Rainforest Story published by Colorado Mountain Club Press in Golden. I am currently working on another children’s book to be published next year. I have exhibited my paintings in several Colorado art galleries, in “on-line” shows, in restaurants and spas. I am a member of Artwork Network. I have no formal art training. My education includes Bachelor of Arts degrees in elementary education and special education from the University of Northern Colorado and a Master’s degree in counseling psychology from the University of Colorado at Denver. I am currently one of the coordinators of Aurora’s gifted and talented program in Aurora Public Schools. I reside in Centennial, CO with my husband and two children.
