GOALS AND INTERESTS
 
Career Goals: My goal is to educate and motivate people in the visual arts.

I am interested in continuing my career enjoying the process of painting and gaining more knowledge in the visual arts.

AND MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT...

I AM INTERESTED IN AFFECTING VIEWERS TO RECOGNIZE THAT ART IS IMPORTANT, LIFE CHANGING AND INSPIRING...
 
Personal Interests: I am a single mother with a 3 1/2 year old son. Most of my time is spent enjoying activities with him. We enjoy gardening together, going for long walks, jumping in mudpuddles and all the other obscure things children teach us to remember.

I am also training to climb a Colorado 14'er next summer.
