My formal education is in engineering and physics but I always love travelling, the outdoors, and the arts in all its forms. During the early 2000’s, the company where I worked had quarterly weeks of shutdown. I couldn’t afford to go anywhere so I started taking adult classes at the local community college in painting, framing and photography.

We moved from California to Virginia in late 2009. The local sceneries are so impressive that I got inspired and started to accumulate a lot of art work pieces at home. After covering the walls of my house and those of my friends and relatives, my husband suggested that I should start selling them.

After participating in the local Bedford County Fair in 2015, I decided to start selling my artwork as a hobby at the local fairs and festivals. I really enjoy the experiences at craft shows and festivals. It allows me to meet other artists and share stories about the wonderful places I have visited.
