My kindergarten painting won best of
class. This first exposure to the arts opened the door to
a lifelong world of fun and creativity.
This is my 5th year of participating in the FH Artists Studio
Tour, returning,as guest artist, to Red Rock Studio on Ironwood
Blvd. My work has been exhibited at galleries in Ohio and
Arizona. Currently three face collages can be seen at the
Emerson Gallery which is also on this tour.
I paint primarily in oil and acrylic, occasionally in watercolor
and mixed media collage, working in a series of three to five
varying interpretations of a subject.
I'm interpreting reality thru my imagination and acquired
skills. My art is a means of communicating this personal vision
to others; an attempt to put what's in my heart and mind on
canvas in hopes that it will speak also to the heart of you the
viewer and bring a smile to your face and happiness to your day.
