Since I was a child, I've always had a natural gift of drawing and painting. I graduated from USC with a BA in Fine Arts. My mediums of choice are pen and ink, water color and color pencils. I've exhibited my artwork at The Russell House and participated in other shows. I've always been fascinated by the way light and shadow play upon objects in nature. I have Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy. I have lost the ability to do the everyday things that some people take for granted, e.g. walking, dressing myself. I have not lost the ability to be creative. People ask, “Why don't I ever see you smile?” I say, “I am smiling…my inner spirit is my light and my smile.” I hope my artwork brings joy and peace to your inner spirit.

The following pieces will be up for bid at P&A's benefit on April 25th: (Click on pictures to enlarge)

Pen & Ink, Watercolor, South Carolina State Capitol: This rendering of the South Carolina State House Capitol is a different view one usual is acustom to seeing in other renderings by other artist.
