I have enjoyed my Artistic God Given Talent since I was old enough to hold a pencil and paintbrush.

I have entered and won many art contests as a youngster and had different works displayed in the downtown department stores of Denver Colorado. I won scholarships to various art schools. As an adult, I continued to take different art classes at colleges and night schools.

I worked for the Telephone Company in the Graphic Arts Department and later worked for the Department of Highways, Cal Trans, California in their Reproduction Department and as a Draftswoman. I worked for the Santa Clarita Clarion Newspaper as a Shop Foreman setting up copy and doing ads. All of this work required Artistic Ability.
