I'm a lifelong New Mexican.  I love New Mexico sunshine, blue skies, and the diversity of it's people.  I am a wife, mother, and grandmother.  I studied fine arts at the University of New Mexico after high school, but eventually earned my degree in education.  I worked as a kindergarten teacher for many, many years.  Since my childhood, I've always loved to learn about, look at, and create art.  The beauty of New Mexico and the love of my family keep me inspired.
