In 2010, I felt like I was suppose to start painting.  I wanted to paint all my life but felt it was so far out of my reach that only once did I try to do a couple paintings and that was that!  However, I told my girlfriends about it and they had supplies to get me started so they gladly donated to me so I could get pursue my dream. I didn't even know how to get the paint onto the canvas correctly but persistence pays off.  I'm self-taught and love it.  I have been beading a bit longer but got bored with it and stopped then moved into Metalsmithing and now I am learning the art of being a Silversmith.  Oh, how happy am I!  I hope you enjoy my expressions and they make you feel happy. ​​
