the funny papers and designing doll clothes. She did not begin serious painting until
later in life.

and friends, but in the mid 90's she took several tours to photograph lighthouses,
ultimately doing oil painting of many of them. She has exhibited in New Mexico and
several places in Arkansas, and has also entered miniature works of art in shows in
Arkansas, Montana and Florida.

and continuedto exhibit at the P.A.L.'s Fine Art Gallery in Yellville, Arkansas until her
death in 2009.
