I was born in Arkansas, but moved to Memphis, Tennessee, at an early age.  Several years ago, I moved 25 miles away from Memphis - out in the country!  I have been married to my husband, Tim, for 23 years and we have a son in college.  I teach art at a small, private school.

I am an artist at heart and have been since I can remember.  I was drawing before I ever started to school.  My parents gave me a weaving loom when I was seven years old and I was immediately attracted to textiles.  I painted mostly in acrylics until I went to a Remington & Russell Art Exhibit in 2002.  Seeing the letters that Russell wrote to his family, during his stay out west, changed the way I painted.  I started using delicate watercolors with pen and ink detail, like he did.

I have known Jane for about ten years.  We became friends while attending the same church in Memphis.  When she asked if I would illustrate her book, it was the opportunity to make a dream come true for me.  Jane's poems spark my imagination.  I could see a color picture in my mind as she read them to me.

I look forward to my first visit to Bermuda in the summer of 2005.  I want to experience for myself what I have been painting and seeing in my dreams.
