I am 49yrs old.I live in Rhode Island.

I have always needed to be creating, like the air I need to breathe. I am a mother of 2 girls 19,21. Married to my wonderful husband for 24 years, and adore animals

( especially my Border Collie Benny!) I paint trees and birds, because I SO relate to them. The Trees are protective, nurturing, give us the air we breathe... God. The Birds are us, me, you, the person viewing the story in the painting. I paint to try and spread love, joy, and peace... although sometimes something different crawls out when life is difficult. Oh yeah... I LOVE COLOR!
