BACKSTREET GALLERY

I was raised in a small coastal town of Bandon, OR; There I took full advantage of the blessing of growing up in a small town.

In 1981, I met my husband and married a short time later. In 1983, we decided a change was in order so we moved to Nenana, Alaska. We missed Oregon so we moved back settling in Florence in 1987 with our twins. Drawing on my life experiences and with encouragement from my husband, I began the artist chapter of my life. I paint with oils, watercolors, and create wood art. I feel blessed as an artist I can work in multiple media's and move freely between each technique. So, after a career, raising a family its full steam ahead and who knows what I may paint next. Please enjoy my art knowing each piece comes from the heart.
