The desire to express myself through art began early in life and continued as I attended Southern Methodist University and majored in Art Education. I shared my love of art with young children and middle schoolers in teaching them to express themselves. Today my desire is to inspire others to use their God given talents and am available for lessons.

As a member of the Henderson County Art Club (Texas) I won first place landscape for the 2 years I exhibited, Merchant award, honorable mentions, and Peoples Choice Award.

Since 2010 I live full time in Naples after living in many parts of the United States and traveling outside the U.S.A.

In Naples I am a member of the Naples Art Association, Southwest Pastel Society, share a studio/gallery (Color Plus 5760 Shirley Street #5) and exhibit with the Shirley Street Galleries and Studios. I enjoy pastel, acrylic, graphite, and gouache. I do commissions… portraits of homes, people, pets and also paintings from your photos.

Psalm 103:2-5 “Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits-who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Gerry Crow Roeder

I began as a Crow, now soar as an Eagle!
