	I learned to china paint quite by accident.  I was living in Scotland. I was painting in oil at this time. A friend from Bible study was a potter. She had been on home leave to the USA and discovered china painting. She organized a class with a teacher and asked me if I would help the teacher. When I said I knew nothing about china painting she just said, " come on and help us, you know about color and stuff."  I went, I helped and I was hooked. Several years later we returned to the USA. We bought a house in Spring, Texas.One day quite by accident, but I really believe by divine providence, I was trying to buy china supplies in Houston when the lady told me a China Painting Convention was going on right then. Armed with a hand drawn map  I found my way to the Convention. When I got into the shopping hall, my oh my! I wanted to run around screaming, "I want it all,". I had learned to paint European style with little brushes. After buying nearly everything in the hall I made my way to the exhibit room. There I met Alma Tipton,which is another story in itself. She invited me to Big Thicket Porcelain Art Club. That was in 1982; the rest is history. I belong to the Texas China Painting Teachers and I have a custom order business  painting tiles and bathroom sinks. I also paint and wire wrap miniatures  and old family portraits for sale.
