Medium: Watercolor, Acrylic and Gouache

My art is a reflection of different experiences I have had in life. I have been an Artist all of my life, and enjoy painting mainly with watercolors, acrylic, and gouache. I spent the last 25 years of my life teaching Art in the Nebraska and Texas Public Schools, and I am currently working on a Masters Degree in Social Work, and hope to eventually work as a clinical and psychiatric social worker with a specialty in Art Therapy. I believe that the arts for many people bring a sense of happiness, well being and peace. The world would be a better place if people could turn to the arts instead of violence, alcohol or drugs in dealing with anger, emotional pain, or mental illness. The arts in general make us more humane, and more able to deal with the ups and downs that life throws us.
