Inspiration can come from anywhere: the garden, the night sky, our rescue dog, a beautiful place like the mountains at moonlight. As an early childhood teacher a special source of inspiration for me is my students. Growing up I always admired my art teacher in school who inspired me to create and always taught us anything is possible in art. I started painting with my husband and we inspire each other. Over the years I have had the privilege to meet many fellow artists who have offered me advice and encouraged me to create. I love to use different colors to create a dance on the paper.
