My chance meeting at church with the wonderful watercolorist Susan Minteer was a turning point in my life! Starting in her monthly watercolor class then she introduced me to Jim Ryon’s class……….unbelievably accomplished watercolorists and acrylic painters!! I am truly blessed for this opportunity to learn!
