I am an American artist living and working in Scotland and I found that even late in life that I still can pursue my dreams. One, being a professional artist and two living in Scotland where I have felt most welcome. Two, being able to not only rediscover who i am but to be able to give back to the community. Currently, I teach art as therapy to individuals of varying abilities. We work on the fundimentals of art along with reinforcing self-confidence. I also teach art as a volunteer for people that need a creative outlet. I am working on writing and illustrating childrens books. 

In the short time I have been in the UK, I have had works exhibited in a number of galleries in both Scotland and England. have been shortlisted (and won a few) art contests and have taken part in Season 10 of 'Portrait Artist of the Year' to be publicly shown in Autumn 2023.
