In the photo above, I am looking for inspiration;
are you looking to be inspired?
I hope that at least one of my art pieces can do that for you!
I do portraits of people, pets or
homes, reproductions of
Master's works, my own original
artwork as well as fabric art,
murals and photography.
I consider this website to be
my portfolio. Because of that, I
have used some very large
image files to
show the details, which will
certainly take a long time to
load even with DSL and
especially if you use a dial-up
connection . I hope you will
be patient.
Most of my artwork is commissioned and
therefore almost everything
you will see on
this site will not be for sale.
But, I do think the ability to see
a body of work better enables you
to make a decision regarding the
purchase of something for yourself.
Most of my photographs,
however, are for sale.
To commission an art piece
or to purchase anything from
this website, please contact
me through my email
address listed below.
My prices vary from $25 to
$2500 usually.
Most portraits fall within the $800
to $1200 price range.
Murals are charged at a
$50-$75 an hour rate.
The "artwork details" page lists sizes,
medium and any other pertinent information
about all artwork that is for sale.
I work in oil, acrylic, pastel,
watercolor, mixed media and
photography (mostly computer
altered images), besides fabric.
None of my pictures or texts
may be published or copied
except for personal use, without
my explicit written permission.
All the artwork is copyrighted.
Thank you.

I am an artist. I believe that ART is not a thing. It is a way of life and it is part of my entire life. I do have a Master's Degree in Fine Art, but long before I got that, everything that I did, I did with the eyes and soul of an artist.
I am a minister's wife. Probably not your typical minister's wife...I believe in a lot that the minister does not, and don't believe a lot that the minister does believe. But we have been married for 41 years and our marriage is far more open and honest than most. We are connected on some level that I can not explain and can not do without. We do call it love.
I am a mother of two wonderful, intelligent, compassionate and loving, besides beautiful, girls. They have grown up to be my best friends, and I thank them dearly for that.
I am a grandmother. Most of you who are, will probably need no other words, but for the rest of you-there is something profoundly different about being a grandparent. It's difficult to explain but I hope they will remain the sunshine in my life.
Their names are Arianna, Ayden, Ashtyn and Ayvre.
They call me Bama.
