Born in Dayton,Ohio.My Grandparents and Mother were born in Germany.I have an older brother[oldest] & sister.Both are artistic as well as my mother.My father was a paint chemist.His job was transfered to Inpls,IN when I was 20.Since I still lived at home I moved with them.Married 1st time in Nov.1,1986-moved to the country in Indiana-widowed in June 22,1991[Motorcycle wreck].Remarried Aug.12,1995-widowed again June 28,2002.[Heart failure].Still live in the same place,but have pretty much remodeled and built up from a small cabin to a 2 story home,with the help of the wonderful man I have lived with for more than 6 years.Because of my own health problems[heart & allergies]I quit my job at McDonald’s and started my life long dream of selling my artwork.It’s still going a little slow,but thankfully my man has a steady job-although it is slow in the winter due to the fact that he is a stone/brick mason.But I’m confident things will pick up for me.* P.S. I went through my art and enlarged many of my pieces so the will be available for sale now.
