ARTIST STATEMENT
My earliest memories of making art are blissful. I believe creativity is part of everyone's nature and should be nurtured. Art allows us to : slow down and focus; document the world around us; ask and answer questions; search our souls and discover our inner selves.
Love what you do. Do what you love.
I've held many art positions in the fashion and garment industry, but my most significant role has been teaching high school art. It was an exciting and rewarding career. I was continuously inspired by students just as much as they were inspired by my lessons.
I enjoy drawing, painting, mixed media and printmaking. I love to include type, maps, collage, texture and stamping in my work. My pet portraits and house paintings began as family gifts. Soon after, I began getting requests. I work from photos. The more information I have, the better I can capture the subject. These make meaningful gifts! Contact me for more information.
Open your eyes to the world around you and never stop learning!
