I live in northwestern Arizona in Prescott Valley at the 5100 foot elevation and is considered high desert. It is located in Yavapai County and within a short drive to the historic town of Prescott. Both these towns are rich in culture, history and tales of the the Native Americans and Pioneers who's dreams were both found and lost.
I have been inspired by the whole culture and beauty of the area and it's people. I enjoy walking on the pathways and trails near our home with my husband and Jack Russell Terrier K.T.
Since moving to Prescott Valley I have joined the Prescott Wood Bee Carvers, National Wood Carvers Association. My husband Terry and I are Arizona State Parks Site Stewards. Our duties as Site Steward's is to monitor assigned Native American ruins and petroglyph sites for vandalism.
I love to draw and paint and my favorite mediums are oil, acrylic, pastel, and gouache. I also enjoy clay sculpture and have gained some knowledge of creating primative clay sculpture. I have learned to work and create with gourds. I've been learning to woodcarve for almost four years now. My favorite types of woodcarving are relief and carving in the round. You can see examples of my work in the various Gallery's on this site.
High Desert Yavapai County, Arizona Playing my Native American High Spirits Sparrow Hawk flute on an October day.
Native American flute music has come into my life in the form of a Odell Borg High Spirits Sparrow Hawk A# NA flute. Also, recently a very new High Spirits Golden Eagle F#. I'm basically self teaching how to play my NA flute. Using CD's and song books and recently joinning The Flute Portal and exchanging posts on their Forum. Flute Portal
