Meet the Artist

I began painting with acrylics during the COVID-19 pandemic, in my late 60s. What started as a personal exploration quickly became a passionate pursuit.

I am entirely self-taught, learning through YouTube tutorials and lots of trial and error. Painting brings me deep joy and has transformed how I see the world—colors, shapes, and light now catch my eye in ways they never did before.

Though I wish I had discovered this artistic side earlier in life, I’m grateful for the creative journey I’m on now. I encourage others to explore their hidden talents—you never know what might bring you fulfillment.

"Nature is my biggest inspiration, and I especially enjoy painting landscapes, flowers, and semi-abstract florals. I've also had the pleasure of creating pet portraits for others. Art has enriched my life in ways I never expected."
