My art journey began when my children were babies. When they went to sleep at , I began reading  books about how to create drawings. I dabbled a bit with charcoal drawings and colored pencils. I created a few pieces that I was proud of, and then I put  my art projects away for many years.  To make a long story short; My children grew up and my husband and I started having some adventures.

Well, during one of these adventures, I was in a zip-line accident. Eventually, it became evident that I had injured my back pretty severely. I had to quit my career as a real estate professional and I began the healing process. 

If you have ever had a back injury, you understand that it can be a very painful and emotional journey. During this time, I ordered some painting supplies and began taking on-line classes to learn how to paint.  This helped take my mind off of the pain and I found that I have a talent and a love for the artistic process.  The satisfaction of creating beautiful works of art kept me  learning.  It  helped me tremendously during this healing time.

With every painting, I prayed for healing and relief.  I continued to pray through out the entire  time.  I loved this quiet time with God and the art that emerged was something unexpected and unexplainable. My art carries a calming and peaceful  feeling with it.  

Today, I continue to paint I and have found my own style and fondness for my work.  It’s not something I would have ever dreamed of in the past, but it was, and is, God’s plan.  I’ve been lead to start my own art business  and I absolutely love it! I’m a passionate painter with the last name of Pickle, who knew. (Ha, Ha) So, I hope that you love my art work and understand that every piece I make is unique and very special. If you’ve read this far, thank you and may God bless.
