Early in her career she obtained a degree in graphic design and worked in many phases of the advertising industry, while continuing her studies in architectural drafting and landscape/architectural renderings.In the first years of her painting she was largely self taught. Later she studied with Marc Chatov of Atlanta, Georgia and Burton Silverman of New York City for figurative studies and greatly admires Milt Kobayashi's artistic style. Early in landscape studies she has worked with Mel Fillerup of Cody, Wyoming, Esther Reinwalt of Blythe, California, and Bill Condit of Denver, Colorado. Of late, her instructors have been Ann Templeton of Ruidoso, New Mexico and Bill Herring of Clint, Texas.
Her works have been shown in galleries as America Oh Yes! who has galleries in Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Hilton Head, South Carolina, the Modern Primitive of Atlanta, Georgia, and Timpson Creek Gallery, Clayton, Georgia.
