When I was introduced to Mary Owens years ago and I thought her technique was absolutely
amazing.  I could not believe how great the results were on my first piece!  I immediately knew this
was what I have been looking for.  I traveled to New York and took a very thorough and challenging
training course with Mary.  It was a lot of information, tons of work, and homework, but I loved every
minute of it.  I then proudly became a Certified Mary Owens Teacher (CMOT).  I have access to all
of the supplies for “Pen & Ink with Oil Rouging”, including all of Mary’s pattern packets.

I have won numerous awards at the Clare County Fair in Michigan and my work is very well
received by fellow artists and my students.  I had the honor of showing my work at “Mid-Michigan
Healing Arts Gallery” and “Garden of Art” in Saginaw, Michigan.  In addition to my commissioned
work for Home, Pet and People Portraits, I teach pen and ink with oil rouging classes on a regular
basis and delight in showing other people the satisfaction one can gain through painting.  

To have the support of a wonderful husband is to have everything.  My husband Don and I live in
Florida (originally from Michigan).  My home studio makes a perfect setting for my in home classes,
in addition I also travel teach, contact me for more information on how to have a class in “your”
area.  Please check out my class schedule for more information and if you’re interested in coming
to my home studio for a class, please don’t hesitate to give me a call.

I’ve always loved art ever since I can remember.  As a teenager (and being
extremely shy during those years) I would sit in study hall and pencil sketch
all the good looking boys that were my classmates.  I wonder to this day what  
ever happened to my tablet of sketches!  

Winning first place at the age of 15 in a competition at Henry Ford Greenfield
Village Museum, in Dearborn, Michigan, inspired me to open the door to
become a successful designer and painter.  I became involved in art both as
a computer graphic designer and artist for more than 30 years.
