Leaves With Stones Painting

My goal as an artist is to bring peace and beauty to the world. As a young child, I wanted to become an artist. Throughout the years I created art for enjoyment and used it as a therapeutic tool. When times of challenges occurred in my life, I produced a large amount of paintings. I decided to start selling my paintings in 1995. At that time, I placed second out of 1,300 artists in an international art contest. I have several repeat collectors and new ones as I create fresh new pieces. I would love to have my artworks on display in a museum one day. In addition to being an artist, I have taught people of all ages. I absolutely love the six years that I taught children from kindergarten through fifth grade. They have such amazing energy! Unlike adults, they are not scared to make mistakes and are very open to using new techniques and materials.
