Fine Art, Mixed Media

As a little girl, I loved all things “art”, especially drawing Even though I was not an art major in college, I was able to take a painting class. We painted in acrylic because of the affordability and drying time.
I put down the paint brush so I could concentrate on “life” - graduate school, family, career. But the itch to paint stayed with me.
Prior to retirement, I took up water color but could never connect with the medium. In 2021, I tried oils and knew I had come “home”.
I described my style as "expressive realism". My subjects vary but my goal is always to paint how something makes me feel.
