I am gradually setting up my Artfire shop. In the meantime, please visit me at www.quotentials.com

As a 5 year old, I should have seen my destiny as a visual artist when I took my neighbor's driveway shells, decorated them with crayons, and sold them back to her as "handpainted" home decor. It took nearly 50 years to come to that realization.

After 30 years of encouraging my gifted and talented students to face their fears of failure and meet creativity head-on, I retired. It was time to practice what I had preached for all of those years.

Combining my love of inspirational quotations with painting Quotentials was born as a decorative painting adventure. While still enjoying painting and creating unique environments, this rather old "budding artist" is now applying her knowledge of color and design to a new passion, fused glass.
