At a moment in 1970, when a model dropped her robe and stood naked in front of a class of wide-eyed eighteen year old art students, I found something in life I loved – the challenge to draw the living, breathing, continuously moving landscape of the human body. What started out as a challenge quickly became a passion. Ten years later, when I happened upon an artist’s dynamic pastels at a local exhibition, I knew I had discovered my medium.

I love pastels, the smell of oil paints, drawing the human figure, artists, and people who love my work. I have one great question in life and intend to ask God when I get to heaven: "What's with cockroaches and cucumbers?"

She has been featured in The Artists Magazine, American Artist, International Artist, Pastel Artist International, The Pastel Journal, "How Did You Paint That?-100 Ways to Paint People & Figures, Vols. 1 and 2", and "Pure Color: The Best of Pastels".

    I added you to my friends list because I thought you might be able to give us some advice about selling on eBay. We (several artists) have a new forum on selling art at www.YourArtMarketing.com. It would be awesome if you could give us some advice.

    Attention human. This is a customary greeting designed to foster the illusion of social interaction and good will. Let us embark upon digital "socializing" via this primitive form of the Internet. (Insert ridiculous emoticon of a human “smiley” face.) ☺
