Rediscovering My Love for Painting

After our boys were grown, I rediscovered my love for painting and found a mentor- artist Kathy Taylor. For over two decades, her studio has been my create haven, where I have learned not just the techniques of painting but also the art of self-expression.

Under Kathy’s guidance, my canvases have evolved from tentative strokes to bold compositions, reflecting the seasons of life. Beyond the brushstrokes, her studio has become a place where art and friendship converge, enriching my life in ways that I had not imagined! Some of my work can be seen below, I hope you enjoy!
