When I was introduced to Mary Owens years ago 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.
I have experimented and am knowledgeable with several mediums which are, but not limited to,
watercolor, pastels and acrylics. I wish I had more time to create artwork and teach the technique
of all these mentioned mediums, however, there are just so many hours in a day so at this time my
choices are "pen & ink with oil rouging" and "colored pencils". Drawing in pencil goes against the
mainstream of the art world where painting is more acceptable and rewarded. But colored pencils
are so versatile and have the potential to create art very similar looking to oils if applied correctly.
Painting has given me many wonderful opportunities in life. 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.

| Portraits |
| Looking for a special gift for someone but you don't know what to give.....make sure you check out my portrait page. |
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.
