Location	Arlington, Virginia, United States
Introduction	I began oil painting in the summer of 2008. I took lessons from Debbie Wilcox who helped me open the door to a world that has become my passion. My husband, Bob, and I moved to Washington DC in January 2, 2010 when he began his job with the US Foreign Service. Before that I lived in Corrales, New Mexico my whole life. I have a large extended family of wonderful, intelligent, opinionated, talented, stubborn and loving people. I have four children; two daughters and two step sons. Professionally I have been a landscape architect, a painting (contracting) business owner, a film and TV actor, a draftsman, an event planner and caterer and a realtor. (Not to mention the various waitressing and miscellaneous jobs of my youth.)
