By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity: Robert Heinlein
My Journey: From the time I could hold a crayon in hand, I was always drawing. I’m probably one of the first artists to have her on gallery of works, starting at 3 years old. My parents gave dinner parties and since we had a large hallway, I displayed my art there for all the neighbors/friends to see. During high school I explored with different mediums and devoured books on technique, anatomy etc. My first sales began when I bought a horse. All of the folks at the farm wanted portraits of their horses, which I happily sold them. In the beginning of my development, I focused on realism, technical accuracy and traditional studies in portraits, still life and prospective. However, I’ve always loved dramatic, vibrant paintings, so I began to experiment. This lead to bold, colorful creations using a much “looser” style.
I spent many years as a sucessful technical sales person, until my husband and I bought a house and I had some money saved. Then I took the plunge, quit my sales job and decided to become a full time professional artist. My journey has been UNBELIEVABLE!!!
I believe what Ronald E Osborn said …
“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered you will never grow.”
These are just a few words that I like to live by. I feel that creating art is a way of sharing your soul with others. As you will see in my artwork: sometimes I am very flamboyant and always colorful, sometimes confidant and peaceful, other times angry or chaotic. I think all of my emotions; passions come out in my works. Sometimes I layer it on thick (paint and words) and other times I flirt with the canvas with light feathery strokes. My art reflects my beliefs in love, warmth, generosity, loyalty, and honesty. I'm inspired by science, fantasy, martial arts, architecture, and nature (especially water).
