Being from Wisconsin and growing up with lots of green and lots of water my introduction to the desert when traveling to Utah for the first time was an eye opener. Red rocks, desert, all the prickly things, dry air and clear skies. I have always enjoyed the outdoors. So I chose to move west and settled in Utah.

I became interested in art later in life and began collecting work from local artists. Having no painting or drawing experience I decided to take an art class partly for something to do and partly to see if I could learn to paint. I took a beginning pastel class. Private lessons followed. That was in 2011. I was thoroughly lost but what great fun! It was fascinating and frustrating at the same time to try to put my feelings, and thoughts and ideas about a subject on paper. Now I have something to do.
