Tell us a little about yourself.
I grew up in Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut and began painting at age 16. I have a BA in literature and humanities, an MA in clinical psychology, and a MTh in theology. A landscape artist, I began painting wildlife in 1991. I’ve been published in a number of publications. I have had no formal training, but rather taught myself. I’m 76 and spent 48 years in the ministry. We adopted and raised six Native American children.
