Of course my life hasn’t been perfect and filled with <strong>no</strong>thing but horse riding and European vacations.<br />

I got married far too young and that did <strong>no</strong>t turn the way I thought it would when I was seventeen<br />

and so naïve. I went through some pretty dark times in my life but haven’t we all Without the down<br />

times how could you possibly want to reach higher and grow<br />

I found myself with three children, a divorce, and moving back in with my parents. I was 24 and had<br />

<strong>no</strong> idea what to do with my life. So, in between changing diapers and nursing babies I started going<br />

back to school. I took my first painting class and hit it off with the teacher. Soon we were pretty good<br />

friends and it was her influence that helped me realize I needed to pursue art. I am very grateful for<br />

that.<br />

I received a B.F.A with a major in painting from Texas State University. I guess I was like a lot of<br />

graduates and struggled with the post college dilemmas of job hunting and real life. It didn’t take me<br />

long to just start doing what I had always done and before I knew it my house was full of giant paintings.<br />

That’s when I teamed up with Justin Black and together we opened a gallery and studio space<br />

in downtown Wimberley, TX. Justin is a wonderful musician, artist, and designer. He has been very<br />

supportive of me and all my artistic endeavors for the past three years. He is my rock.<br />

We call our space SongBrush Gallery and we are coming up on a 1 year anniversary. If you find yourself<br />

in Wimberley stop by, say hi, and watch me work on my latest painting.<br />
