Worked for The Foster Agency upon first graduating, then worked freelance, then worked for the rahan Group, then for my own firm and then for the AKA Advertising and finally the Graham Group again in Metairie,
before I decided to get my real estate license in 2001 (the worst year in real estate ever because of 9/11) and was working freelance again by my own choice. Everything I did was by my own choice.
After getting my real estate license I went to work for Keller Williams Realty in Mandeville, and my husband got transferred back to Lafayette and I chose to open the Keller Williams' office here. Keller Williams Real Estate Acadiana!
I have been successful in real estate ever since and had opened or took over a total of 6 market centers. But my heart kept calling me back to design and art so I opened the art gallery Life Designed In Louisiana and took painting lessons from
Pat Soper to relearn painting. I opened the Gallery right before I had to shut it down for Covid but have persevered and today I am a proud Gallery owner and am semi-retired from real estate.
I like to paint realistically. whether it be watercolor or oil paint. That is part of why I took lessons from Pat Soper, he teaches realism. And although I admire those that can paint loosely and abstract, I chose not too, and choose realism instead!

She was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Having grown up in a culturally rich area, inspired her creative spirit at an early age. She relocated to Lafayette, LA in 2010 when she married her Cajun husband and found inspiration here. Following her 2022 retirement, she focused full-time on her art. She gets pleasure from hand-building clay into delicate floral bowls and plaques, serene angels, and whimsical courir de Mardi Gras figurines and continues to be inspired to create whatever comes to her.
