Biography:
Most of my background is in the business world, as an Administrative Assistant. I started painting later in life (with no artistic talent) with Susan and Robert Garden at my local recreation center in 2005. I had never painted before, even in school! My first painting is still my favorite! I had never held a paint brush, couldn't draw a stick figure, but found out that, with guidance, I can paint! And you can too!
I became certified as a Robert Garden Instructor in May 2011. I use all professional grade materials. Since I've been teaching, I find I like to work with youth and senior citizens (I would not have thought this before). It's exciting to have this new career at this stage of my life. I'd have never guessed!
Education: Bachelor of Arts, 2004, University of Texas at Dallas
Originally from New York and then California, I have lived in Plano, TX for 35 years. My granddaughter Hayley is my art inspiration. She is a wonderful and talented artist that works at Painting with a Twist in Richardson, and assists me with youth art camps in the summer. I am married and have two grown daughters, one who manages a Homeowner Association Management business, and one who is a Registered Nurse. My husband is self-employed in the computer business.
