Fiber, 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 work every day to become better and become more “painterly”. My subjects vary but I hope each painting evokes an emotion within the viewer.
