Dew drops and the first rays of morning sun on a single white calla lily. This floral portrait is the sixth in a series of white on black drawings.

Oct 20, 2021: WON first place in the North Florida/South Georgia Veterans' Creative Arts Festival in the Monochromatic Drawing category, and will represent the region in the national competition!

I often joke that I learned to draw and paint because it is easier and quicker for me than getting a good photograph. I do still make the attempt to use my camera more effectively from time to time, but I have more natural aptitude to using a pencil or paint. Often what few photographs I am satisfied with become reference for my artwork. I work with charcoal, soft pastels, oil pastels, watercolor, acrylic, and am learning oil painting. I tend towards more realistic, although I have dabbled in impressionism when the fancy strikes. I live at the dead end of a dirt road in rural Florida with my husband and a yardful of critters, while the local deer and wild turkeys eat my annual efforts at gardening.
