She then worked at Omaha Public Schools. At that time, she began painting with plein air artists locally. Upon retiring in 2018, she stepped up her painting, sought out artistic community, participated in juried and organizational art shows.

Artist's Statement

When I am painting or drawing, I find that I can see the world more clearly and get a thrill out of trying to capture the beauty of nature on canvas or watercolor paper. When I am given a thematic assignment, I enjoy the challenge of developing a composition that is meaningful to me, and translates to others. I work primarily in Watercolor and Acrylics. My paintings utilize line and color to convey emotion.

Each artistic endeavor is an adventure. I ask for the L-rd’s blessing and even participation, and am surprised by how each project turns out. 

I hope you like what you see on my page, as much as I love what I see on the pages of my friends here at Omaha Artists, Inc.
