Bobbie has reached that point in her life when she can finally find time to rediscover her passion for painting and creativity. Art was always in the background of raising children and dealing with life's necessities.

Her artistic explorations have taken her through oil painting, clay, water color and mixed media, but she ultimately returned to her passion for oil painting. Bobbie attended many art classes over the years, but most of what she has learned in her artistic journey has been self-taught.

It is her fond memories of living in Hawaii for seven years that moves her to communicate the islands' allure through her paintings.

"The peace and the calm is what motivates me to paint the moods of Hawaii. I hope through my paintings that viewers feel a longing to be there!"
