Name:
Location: Lacey, WA, United States

I have a Certified Artist/Teacher degree with the National Society of Decorative Painters. Taught decorative painting, color theory, calligraphy and other art related classes for 12 years. I enjoy using my artistic talents, especially to update furniture and repurpose found items. I am married to the world's most wonderful husband. We celebrated our 48th anniversary this year (2016). We have raised six children, three boys, three girls. Have 10 grandchildren. Through the NSDP I have paintings in the White House, Blaire House and Smithsonian Institute. I was given the honor of being the Chair of the Pacific NW, "Breeze and Brush" Decorative Painting Convention. What fun we had! I like keeping healthy and enjoy life. I love humor and people. God has been good to me!

Unconditional

My mother drew this picture in 1932. I wrote the poem as a tribute to her.


I’ll be your mother
I’ll dry your tears
Kiss your wounds
Calm your fears

I’ll be there when
You need a friend
Your broken spirit
I’ll try to mend

Please let me know
You care for me
That’s all I requireThe rest is free
