oil painting in 1972 and continues to hone her skills, most recently
taking a class fom Bob Rohm. In 1990, she saw a community
calendar with a listing for pottery classes, fell in love with clay
and studied it with Ann Lee, Linda Woodward, and later with Roy
Hanscom at North Harris Community College. She also became interested
in collage by way of a workshop given by Margaret Dobbins. She has also
done some collage work with Joan Marie Jackson. Her most recent
interest came from a creativity workshop with Veranne Graham, where
she discovered the use of fluid acrylics on textured ground.
