Born in Pensacola, Florida in 1918, my childhood was spent in Washington, DC and Georgia before moving to New Orleans in my teens.   At the University of Alabama I met my brilliant engineer husband; we were married in my sophomore year when I was eighteen, and set of on an adventuresome life in several southern states while he designed bridges, then to Connecticut, Venezuela, Maryland, and finally to New Orleans, where for 25 years he was on the Tulane faculty.  We were always interested in the forefront of science and technology, as well as philosophy, art, and creativity, which I have found again on the Internet.

Widowed in 1982, I moved to a retirement home in Delaware to be near NYC, Philadelphia, and Washington.  Now a recluse in failing health, I find my "art studio in a box" the perfect answer for energy-sparing creativity, and Art on the Net a delightful connection to other artists.

After sixty years of working in traditional art mediums, I discovered digital art in mid 1995.  With Fauve-Matisse software, using the mouse as a brush, I am experimenting daily and the possibilities blow my mind.  The transition to computer generated art demands even greater emphasis on drawing.  I begin with an idea drawn in my regular sketchbook, transfer it into the computer via Sketcher software to correct the proportions, etc., then into Fauve-Matisse where I paint and manipulate it with filters and enhancers.
