I was born on an Island in the Bahamas, there is where I spent my entire childhood and some of my adult life. I now reside in the United States of America, with my family. I graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 1991. I later completed my Master's in Teaching at Saint Mary University, Kansas. After graduating, I found work in several art positions, to include Graphic Designer, Backdrop Artist, Portrait Painter, Muralist, Freelance Artist, and an Art Teacher.
I often paint with acrylics in winter and oils in summer. My work has been shown in group shows, magazines, and several art competitions and contests.
My work is mostly a series of paintings of people, as I concentrate on the human face as a form of communication to set the stage for the entire painting. Ever since I was a little girl, I enjoyed painting people. My portraits are painted with the intend to reveal the human deep thoughts and emotions.
Blending the elements of art to create an emotion or thought to share visually with the world, is one of my greatest joy.
