She is an award winning American Artist, free lance writer, & gardener, at the age of 68, decided to pick up her paint brushes again after 54 years and paint, in mostly gouache watercolors, the flowers, herbs and fruits that grow at Home Farm Herbery.
Though she paints in all mediums, she likes to use the Gouache paints, which are a heavy, opaque watercolor paint, sometimes called body color, producing a less wet-appearing and more strongly colored picture than ordinary watercolor.
Occasionally, she will paint something from her world travels. Especially, of Scotland, Ireland, or the Mediterranean. She is fond of those old memories.
Her original paintings are sold quite quickly and one can always try and pick up whatever current one she is working on. The amazing thing about this "young" artist is that as a mother of 5 & the grandmother of 8, she is also a cancer and stroke survivor who is able to strive forward each and everyday to welcome the beauty of this small planet.
