I became acquainted with the oil rouging technique when the Society of Decorative Painters Chapter sponsored a Mary Owens' seminar. I have been an enthusiastic Mary Owens' student since 1994.
When taking a lettering and layout course at the Toledo Museum of Art as a student at the University of Toledo, I developed a love for pen and ink, especially calligraphy. My interest in arts and crafts continued to grow. As my 2 children entered their teens, I began taking additional art classes. When I could no longer find a classes being taught using oils, I began taking decorative painting classes using acrylics. Recently, I have increased my painting skills by adding watercolor classes.
One of my goals upon retiring from 15 years of teaching secondary math was to become a Mary Owens' Certified Teacher. This goal was achieved in the Fall of 2001.
I have been an active community member serving in various leadership positions. Presently serving as President of the Glass Capital Decorative Artists, a chapter of the Society of Decorative Painters.
