My studio is in my home. It has a skylight for natural light and I complement it with a combination of warm and cool fluorescent lights.  A large window lets me look at the garden in the front yard. I listen to music while I paint and play my wonderful digital piano during breaks.  But, my family thinks the whole house is my studio!  I display paintings in the living room, paint oils in my studio, photograph still-life compositions in the workroom, select photographs in the family room, study cyberart in the den, and prepare my paintings for shipping downstairs.

Weekends, I go with my husband, Roger Ray, in search of material for my paintings.  We have found many wonderful spots in Oregon, including beautiful forests and beaches.  The Portland Waterfront Park, where children run through the fountain, is a favorite place.  The Portland International Rose Test Garden has fabulous roses.  Also, two of the worlds largest iris growers, Schreiner's and Cooley's, are nearby.  We also have been fortunate to travel overseas and to find fascinating scenes of daily life.
