For the last 20 years, however, she has been primarily working in watercolor, and finds it best expressed her soul. She has four grown children, and five grandchildren. She currently lives in California with her husband Robert and their pets: Witney, a Golden Retriever, and Jeffrey, a quite independent grey tabby cat.
