As a "transplanted" Colorado transplant, I have been a member of the Virgin Valley Community since 2014.
Life's 20-year adventure as a State of Colorado Courts Clerk brought retirement in 2008.
For many of my 32 years on the Western Slope, I participated in juried shows, entering painted furniture, crafts, and floral design.
October 2024 brought membership with VVAA, and display of acrylic paintings, original cards, and a line of printed original cards.
Many of my paintings have been derived from my poetry and lyrics, and vice versa.
Widowhood has brought many firsts after 50 years of marriage. Included was the brave bucket list move upon entering lyrics into the Nashville Songwriters’ Association 2024 lyrics contest, scoring pleasing results!
Cooking, baking, and entertaining round out my passions.
