I have been painting since I was a child; I have always enjoyed creating. I learned to sew, knit, crochet and more from my mom and grandmother; it came to me naturally. Painting has always been my favorite. I have painted on anything with a surface: long saws, round saws, cabinet doors, wood plaques, glass, ornaments, furniture, old milk cans, mail boxes, rocks just anything that looked like I could paint on it, and of course, my favorite canvas.
