She was a gifted, self-taught artist and woodworker. She was the co-founder of Daymela. She would sell her wears throughout the Midwest at local art shows. Her artistic passion was in wildlife paintings. She painted using different mediums: pencil, watercolor, charcoal. She provided original watercolors over the years in support of numerous wildlife organizations including Trout Unlimited, Ducks Unlimited and Whitetails Unlimited.
