I have been painting images of musical instruments for years. The painting to the left was included in the Lake Oswego Chronicle Invitational Show, which is part of the Lake Oswego Arts Festival . Music has been an important part of my life-- I was raised by a mother who was a professional singer in her youth, and a father who played piano beautifully, without ever learning a note of music.As you can see, Jazz is my favorite! I have also been a member of the Aurora Women's Chorus, a group of women who sing about Peace, Social Justice, and Harmony in the world.
