Welcome To Fly Girl Painter!
I love to paint anything

About Fly Girl Painter..
I have always been into art, as far back as  
when my artist grandmother gave me some 
paints and a canvas and asked me to "paint".
I used to watch her create the most beautiful
landscapes, flowers, watermills, just about
anything. She also made hooked rugs and even dyed her own wool.
I joined the Air Force after high school because I loved airplanes! I loved every day of my career, the travel the flying, the excitement of it all!   And while serving my country.
  I had started painting nose arts on aircraft earlier in my career, hangar doors, ammo boxes, tool boxes etc,, but it wasn't until I was stationed at Castle AFB in central Ca. in 1990, that I realized my true calling.
  Everyday on my way to work I would pass the air museum and I would look out to those old planes and think "gee, someone should paint them". and wouldn't that be cool."
  In 1994 before retiring I was asked to assist the museum before base closure (1995) and supervise the restoration efforts there. I was thrilled.
  I jumped right in and the first plane I really learned to paint was a B-17
bomber! By the time I left Castle in 1997, I had helped restore several aircraft, including the mighty B-52 and my favorite F-4E Thunderbird.
  I later I moved to Riverside and worked at the March Air Museum, where I supervised and restored over 35 aircraft.
  In 2005 I joined the Wings and Rotors Air Museum in Murrieta where I work today and love every minute of it.
  It was in 1999 when I painted my first U.S. Navy H-60 Seahawk, donating my time, unaware of what it would lead to. I still paint them today and this site is primarily about them.
Fly Girl Painter Assistants
Of course I can't do all the work myself.
It is alot of work to prep and paint a Seahawk.
My husband Scott helps me on every helicopter, he is the master at prepping the top tail rotor assembly and helping to me to clean the black soot that collects from the exhaust. He also is another set of eyes making sure everything "looks good" before I  paint it.

Also I have Roxane Bond. She is also an artist and has helped me on many tails.
Roxane and I went to Guam in Aug 08 together to paint the H-60 for HSC-25.
Roxane ia also a licensed A&P mechanic!
You go girl!
We work together at
Wings and Rotors Air Museum.
