My paintings are of the ecosystem that surrounds me—in particular landscape oil paintings. The latest paintings show different emotional, intellectual and visual levels of the environment.
Prior to moving to Florida in 2001, I taught art at the high school, community college, and privately. I also was employed by the U.S. Postal Service for twenty-five years as clerk,
supervisor, and Postmaster. I was actively exhibiting work during this time with four one-woman shows from 1993 to 1999, along with several group exhibitions and outdoor shows in Illinois and Indiana. In 2002, I began exhibiting and selling my work in Florida. I belong to several area art groups and exhibit with them during the year.
