A graduate of fine arts, as well as self taught. The collective works I have to my credit are one woman shows, gallery showings, public art, private collections and fine art museums. Including numerous awards, [lists available upon request]. My experience has been with silk painting, watercolor, pen, graphite, color pencil, acrylic, and oils. I have been a serious artist since the age of two, although not proficient at that time, I knew it was my destiny. The many occasions I would sculpt or paint until the early hours of the morning. My father would find me lying limp by my artwork...wake me, scold me for my nocturnal endeavors, knowing he would repeat this ritual, as I would be there again. Although, financial stability may elude an artist the passion nevertheless is priceless. Art feeds my soul. Everything in life we experience becomes the journey that shapes our perceptions, and our creations, just as those whom interpret our art. I am endlessly searching for artistic endeavors that satisfy my curiosity and allows me to express my technique. By incorporating textures, bold colors, and lines, and blend into a composition, which many works have been created by accident, are by far my most successful. For me, visual art is a mystery to the eye, which encourages the viewer to be drawn into the composition. The challenge for me is to combine these forms that are immediately recognizable, yet a distortion of shapes that transcend into more than one subject. An ultimately to convey an emotion that the viewer will identify with and in them find a revelation, inspiration, or amusement. Visual art nourishes and enriches our lives, and enlightens our surroundings with personality and ambience. My hope is to enrich your environment with my creations. To find something in my work you can connect with. I am inspired by the many masters whom enrich our lives with 'original' art. I create original art to satisfy my search....and hope others enjoy my work and the journey with me.
