Creating art has always been one
of my hearts desires. It began at an early
age while sitting at my Grandpa Donald's desk.
He patiently taught me perspective. I was
the only 1st grader to draw a house that didn't
look like a box. My parents, family and
teachers spurred me on. Art was to become
part of my life and I was fascinated with
everything associated with it. I took
every art class that was offered and eventually
graduated with honors from Northern Michigan
University.
To
grow as an artist, I worked as an intern in a
local art center, an art consultant for a
nationally known gallery in Minneapolis and also
owned my own art gallery. The insight and
inspiration gained from working with so many
extremely creative artists and business people
was an education in itself.
Over
the years I have entered art competitions and
have participated in numerous juried exhibits
and area art shows. I've enjoyed the
privilege of being juried into a national show
for the Knickerbocker Artist's - New York at the
historic Salmagundi Club with one of my more
abstract pastel paintings, titled "Symphony of
Color".
Every
media is a temptation for me to explore and I
will continue as long as I can pick up a paint
brush, pencil or piece of chalk.
Printmaking and handmade paper are other areas I
have enjoyed working in. Please enjoy the
collage of work I've put together for you to
see. (Gallery Originals)
New
and exciting ideas are brewing and I hope to
have more prints coming your way.
More
than anything else my hope and prayer is that my
art will inspire, bless and uplift each and
everyone of you.
