This period in my life was a time to be mother and wife, but
not yet an "artist." I considered myself as "an artist
in training," so the experimentation was well used.
Since 1971, I have painted almost exclusively with palette knives. I
have worked out a simple technique of putting paint on canvas with knives
that is faster, cleaner, and brings more realism to the subject painted.
In 1981, with my family grown, I was encouraged by friends and family to
teach my "Unique Palette Knife Technique." By teaching for
nine-plus years, I learned to expand my own abilities with more effective
techniques. It is very fulfilling to share what I have learned through
trial and error with my students and am always open to new ideas and try to
encourage the students to perfect their own style.
I started traveling and selling my "work" at fine art shows across
the state about twelve years ago and have never regretted it. The
people I have met, the places I have seen and the experiences of bringing my
art to the public have been truly worth the dedication I have put into it. I
have been traveling with my art for about twelve years now and still enjoy
it. Visit my News and Calendar
to find out where I've been lately and where you can find me in the future.
Oil is my chosen and best-loved medium, however I have taught myself to do
watercolors as well. The oil paint allows me to give a
three-dimensional look to the canvases while watercolors allow me to
do a "remarque" on my lithograph prints!
Have fun looking through the site and I hope you enjoy my
art.
