Art processes held my attention by age 8. One I remember vividly was dying string in my yard, then covering a bottle with the spiral rings of color. Nature had its pull on me too, as it still does today. My college minor in Art Education landed me among young artists for a career in teaching this amazing subject. Today, I am retired and enjoy mixing my creative ideas of the past and present. This includes the use of acrylic and watercolor paint, collage media, and clay. It’s important to me that my finished pieces display unique qualities. I rework them until they have a life of their own through interacting art elements. Often there’s a playful abstractness in my work that relies on organic shapes and colors. Rarely do I strive for true realism.
