Her stage was a sheet hanging over a clothesline, where she would direct her play for family and neighbors. She was only six or seven years old then. She had the art gift and went on to become president of art and sketch club in high school. She married young and studied old masters' ways of painting portraits of family and children. She became a widow in her thirties and had to support her children, so she learned floristry and had started writing poems to and for everyone. She hopes they will be enjoyed because they are simply true to life.
