After being widowed as a young mother, and later divorced, spending years as a single mom with a full-time job and little time to paint, I began to go blind. Recently retired, and with my eyesight now restored, I am looking forward to being a full-time painter, who also illustrates children's books, and does graphic design on the side. I also take commissions for children's and pets' portraits from photos, in many styles - contact me for information. I am determined to recapture the creative spirit.more
