My Story

We all have a story. I am a victim of domestic violence, since 2001. Emotionally, it has been one of the most difficult times of my life. I realized, I had one choice to make. I had to begin my healing and recovery process.

I needed an outlet for my mental and emotional well-being. After watching a show about painting, I decided to give it a try. I purchased painting supplies. I began to teach myself, and just fell in love with it! The technique I use is called “One Stroke.” After much practice, I began to sell a few pieces here and there. It was just what I needed!

In 2009, I had to take some time away from painting as I am a single mom. I just did not have the time needed to paint while raising a family solo.

In 2018 I began to paint on a regular basis once again. I rediscovered why this truly is my happiness, my calling! I am happiest and fulfilled when I paint! It is a joy to continue my growth as an artist, learning new methods and techniques.

 I love to share my work. It is an honor when someone purchases one of my “Southern Soul Creations.” I feel as if I am invited into their home and lives!

I hope my “Southern Soul Creations” mean as much to you as they do to me! I look forward to painting for you!
