For me, putting a new canvas on my easel and picking my color pallet along with which brush will bring me the best results for the piece of art I want to paint is beyond magnificent.

I couldn''t live well without writing, painting in acrylics, and music. I''m an eclectic artist by nature. I created my own style. I have over 250 pieces of art in my studio and just as many books in my library.

I have taken art lessons in the 80s in oil and pastels, an exciting time in my life. I''ve learned much.

I loved coloring in a coloring book when I was a child. I always had one. To me, my coloring book was art. Today, my canvas and brush are my coloring book

Life is too short to let it pass by without leaving your mark on this planet in some small way. So, I create art in many mediums, mostly on canvas, sometimes wood. I also write novels that are sold on Amazon. I created my own book covers. Anything to bring me happiness and joy, I create it.

I also create art to bring a message across. I have hidden messages in most of my paintings.

I paint my moods.
