 I grew
 up on my Grandfathers farm in Southern Ohio, where at the age of 5,
 I started drawing portraits of my cousins in the cellar, sitting with
 Mason jars of stewed tomatoes and green beans. After graduating from
 The Ohio State University (’63) with a BFA in Advertising Design, I
 worked for an advertising agency and later an art studio for 6 years
 in Newport Beach, California. This is where I became reacquainted with
 and married a fellow H.S. student, Navy Lt. Commander (MC), Kenneth
 DeHaven. 
 Thirty plus
 years later in Rochester, NY, I started painting and became a member
 of the DRAW group of women artists, The New York Figure Study Guild
 and The Portrait Society of America. Now my portrait art has resumed
 in my Penfield, NY basement studio (shared with Ken’s workshop “Ken’s
 Clocks”) where there are no stewed tomatoes. 
 I paint
 portraits, recognizable oil portraits of families, Mothers with their
 children, children coming of age, young men & women in their sports,
 VIP’s, animals with their owners and without, and generations past;
 portraits that say, “you are loved or important, or both”.
