I love learning new painting techniques, then incorporating what I've learned into my own style of painting. I have studied with many renowned artists, in my quest for artistic excellence.   I teach painting and I truly believe that anyone who has a desire to learn to paint, can learn! We are all born with "creative talent" within us. Practice and persistence will bring it out!

I am a member of  Soroptimist International of Ceres.   Soroptimist is an international service club. Making the world a better place to live is the goal of  Soroptimists world-wide. It's a wonderful organization to be a part of!  

I also am a member of Angels For Hope, an internet based group of crocheters whose mission  is to brighten the lives of chronically ill or severely injured and/or their caretakers, by crocheting and giving tiny angels, butterflies, or happy faces.  This is a volunteer group and all gifts are sent free of charge.
