I am an artist living in Franklin, TN. As a young child, I have always loved to create which prompted me to pursue art in college. After painting murals for years while I raised three children, I now paint on canvas and love it. I hope that my art makes people happy and maybe even causes them to laugh out loud. About six years ago it occurred to me that if birds could build nests, then they could make hats. This is the inspiration for most of my art. I also enjoy painting hats and masks on animals.
