Bio

I graduated from the U of A in Fayetteville in 1989 with a degree in Art Education. After several years of being a full time wife and mother I took the leap back into painting.

Gail Stoops is a brilliant teacher and artist. Her dedication to her students and her precious friendship are appreciated beyond measure.

Art is a journey of self discovery…looking within myself….deciding to act with courage to put myself out there. The process is full of joy and turmoil. Learning to see things as they are…rendering it on canvas… then making them my own.

The relationships that have been born from a common passion for art are priceless. Art for me is JOY!
