Resume’
Graduated from an accredited U.S. Law School
As a Paralegal/Legal Assistant
I took all 10 fields of law which is more than normally required for my degree. The President of the law school wrote me a letter on school letterhead to say:
“Your grades are excellent! Not many receive as good grades as you have.”.
Worked for lawyers
Free-lance Paralegal Services
Found that Law was not enough of a personal challenge for me as it came much too easy.
I taught a year as a substitute teacher and a Para-Professional substitute teacher in the public school system due to my high volume of college hours. I do not have teacher’s certification. Loved the job but Pres. Bush put into law you must be certified in order to teach.
Ran for City Council
Ran for Mayor
As far as my art talent it comes from the Lord. If you like what I paint, take the time to thank HIM.
My parents were and are both very talented my Dad was an inventor and had been written up in The Inventor’s Gazette along with my Mom. Mom is a professional artist as well and a great inspiration to me.
Since my Dad has passed away my greatest critics and supporters are my Mom and husband.
I was raised by good Christian parents who taught put God first in your life, and dream big, bigger than you ever thought was possible. Then however you land in life you will be successful.
I can paint anything but decided to specialize in the art of Historical Laces and Portraits and Figurative Art as this is where I feel the most challenged.
Museum Exhibit:
Allhallows Museum
Honiton, Devon, England
April 13- July 13, 2009
In 2009 five of my paintings each measuring 24x30 were displayed as a solo exhibit in painting for three months ending in July. They were shown in a glass case at the accredited Allhallows Museum in Honiton, Devon, England. The five paintings were chosen for me by their Trustee’s consisting of 4 men and six women. These five paintings appear on my homepage of my business website listed below.
Their website at the time of my exhibit is:

I have heard from Her Majesty by written letter twice via her Lady-In-Waiting’s as to her interest on my art as well as wishing me great success on my upcoming Allhallows Museum exhibit. She was unable to attend as she had a prior engagement.
Other possible exhibits at accredited museums here in the U.S. have written me with interest through 2013. However, due to the poor economy many museums have experienced lay-off’s and cutbacks and even curators I had been working with for over a year are no longer employed so the timing has been drastically altered.
