Our neighbor, a retired college art instructor, saw a few of my drawings, and introduced me to oil painting. I was 11 yrs oId. I painted off and on for many years, sometimes selling my work. When our girls were entering high school, I was hired to teach art at a Catholic elementary school. The next year I enrolled at Louisiana State University, and and for 5 years I taught at the school and worked towards my degree in Art with a minor in Education.

I retired from the school after 22 years. I now draw and paint on a variety of surfaces and occasionally sell my work at local craft fairs. (Our youngest grandchild is an amazing cartoonist. I forsee him working for a movie company one day!)

What i love about drawing? It forces me to take a really close look at an object or animal and appreciate the wonders of God's Creation.

Available most Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. , and Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
Available for private or small group tutoring in Drawing in pencil and charcoal; and in oils and/or acrylics.
