I am a member of Artists of Minnesota and Central Minnesota Watercolorists

I have always had some form of art in my life. I enjoy trying new mediums and new canvas to paint on. I am a self taught artist who is sixty seven years old. I began painting on feathers ten years ago. We owned an acreage and had twelve Peafowl and some Turkeys which naturally molted feathers for me. I heard about feather painting from a friend who had visited Florida and had noticed some at a store there. I taught myself to paint on the feathers and it has opened up a new venue for selling my art. The Peafowl or Turkey feathers are hand painted Native American motif, Wildlife or the feather could be special ordered to show a portrait of a favorite pet.

I entered the Nebraska State Fair and won BEST IN DIVISION.

Also as a member of ARTISTS OF MINNESOTA I won the PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD at their Spring Show which was held in St. Cloud, MN in 2004.

I was GUEST ARTIST for Ashland, NE Art Council which was held in the St. Stephen's Episcopal Church which was built in 1872 and is a place which the Ashland Art Council holds their programs.
