Abstract paintings, mixed mediums, BW, travel, nature and landscape photography are my areas of interest. Bold colors and textures are great mixtures for my abstract designs. I love capturing the view from a mountaintop, an animal enjoying a playful moments and colorful flowers. I love capturing things that other may have overlooked. Everything and everyone has value and purpose.
I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis for about 9 years. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a debilitating disease. I use my art and photography as form of exercises for my hands, wrists and arms. Art gives me a sense of spiritual renewal and refreshing. I was never able to paint before in my life prior to my RA.
I am the Founder and Visionary for Women of Excellence with Purpose Ministries. It is a ministry specifically for Women in Ministry. I am a graduate of Hahnemann University with B.S. in Mental Health. I am a Minister. I am enjoying life on the east coast
