My interest in "Art" began early on. I was fully sketching by the age of 6 or 7.
It naturally became a daily cozy ritual -- drawing animals and people initially.
My Grandmother fueled this by supplying plentiful paper pads every time she visited!
During highschool years -- I dabbled in painting on fabrics for a boutique. Shortly afterwards I briefly sought out figure drawing classes while at Oglethorpe University and Atlanta College of Art/Woodruff Arts Center. Later, I discovered "mixed media" art classes -- during my profession as a kitchen showroom consultant (and Chef) for many years. I also painted pet portraits periodically.
The onset of Covid brought me to capturing images of a beautiful lake in our historic neighborhood near Decatur, Georgia -- rendered in "oil" medium. I appreciate the flexibility of
working with "wet", creamy paint ideally. Currently, I strive to "stay in practice" for a richer understanding of the possibilities of this and other related mediums!
