My Bio

I was born in eastern Kentucky, in the mountains, and now, after living in a bunch of states, we're

living in western Kentucky. Go figure. It's good to be back in my home state, the last few years. I was

born to paint and happiest when I'm doing that. I love fantasy, but am always enthralled by the

beauty of the world around us. I used to find myself torn between the urge to paint realism and the urge to paint fantasy. I think I express myself most completely and freely when I'm working in the realm of the imagined, though. There is such freedom there, and humor. I am married, have a blue merle rough collie named Shadow Walker, and grow my own blueberries, blackberries, black raspberries, and miscellaneous flowers.

Life of an Artist

Nov 13, 2022

This artist seems to be so ridiculously busy that I bought a planner. I have a wall calendar. I have a digital calendar. I make lists. I have lots of paper for that. I don't post art on here much, or submit a journal entry because I seem so busy. So I've decided to start posting more thoughts and doings. We are remodeling our house, have been for 12 years, but now that my husband is retired we've kicked it up a bit. And I help with that. He does most of it, but there are things I help with, and things I do, too bad I can't type that last I in bold or capital, it's already capital. And every 4-6, and now 3 weeks, I go to my sister's house to stay a week. She's taking care of our aging, ailing 94 year old mother, AND raising her granddaughter, who's 4. She needs help so she can rest a bit, on a regular basis. I AM working on art, for here, for PAPA Gallery, for Dragoncon. Sometimes I need to go a week or more NOT doing art because of the rest of 'the life of this artist', too much other
