The story goes like this: A small boy got lost. When he realized he might never see his parents again he painted a portrait of himself and put it on the wall of the post office. Someone saw it and made copies of it for the news papers . You know the rest of the story , they found him. So she decided she would do the same, so she would never get lost from her parents.

A mother of three daughters, grandmother to 4 grandchildren, and two great grand children , she was born in a small town in Pennsylvania, a daughter to George A. and Veda Montgomery.

She still loves the outdoors and travels extensively so that she can paint from her heart. She says "I can paint you skiing in the alps , because I have been there, even if you have never been. I can get creative".

Once she painted a woman that was pulling herself in a small wagon as she was as a baby. She has painted children in clouds and many more paintings. She does not use your painting on the web site unless you give her permission or unless it was posted before you bought it. Therefore, not all of her paintings are in her gallery or anywhere else that you can view.

She says "I believe all people should have the right to own fine art".
