Star Valley is nestled high in the rocky mountains of western Wyoming. My family was among the pioneers who settled this farming community over a hundred years ago.They were a hardy stock, people who survived harsh winters without enough food because of the very short growing season. With hopes for a brighter future, they worked the land, cared for their animals, and lovingly raised large families. This is the inspiration for my art.

My life and my memories are centered around this wonderful lifestyle. I hope to catch moments of time, memories, and share them on canvas. If they touch you, make you smile, or help you enjoy the beauty of my home I will have succeeded.

I am a self taught artist who owes a great deal to her mentor, Clark Kelly Price. I also owe everthing to those who have gone before. Thank you for lighting the way.
