A native of Greenville, SC, I have been drawing and painting from an early age. Through the years, I have studied with nationally and internationally known artists, including Alice Williams, Jim Richards, Susan Mayfield West, Jim Carson and Robert Joyner.  I have painted with a local group known as The Painterly Ladies for the last eleven years, with whom I show bi-annually. Other local galleries in which I have shown include Merge, the Metropolitan Arts Council and The Rock House.
