I am a true “glass half full” girl and proud of it! In my profession of plastic surgical nursing, I work with the human form and the perception of beauty everyday.
For these reasons, I suppose it’s no surprise that I paint what appeals to me most; people. My portraits and figurative paintings are simple and straight forward. There are no hidden agendas, deep meanings or abstraction. Whether it is a portrait or fine art piece, my intention is to give you just enough information so you can finish the story.
When the last college tuition was sent off, I vowed to check some things off my “bucket list.” I wanted to learn to fly, play piano, paint portraits, sculpt and learn a foreign language. I haven’t made it to the sculpting or the foreign language………yet – but I am living the dream. I’m an instrument rated pilot. I play piano well enough for my own pleasure and it is my sincerest hope that my paintings will offer you pleasure. Every time I pick up a brush, I aim to do better than yesterday…….so stay in touch and see where life takes my art next.
Why do I paint? I must……
Award of Recognition - Mosaics, St. Charles, MO 2008
This award came as a surprise. I didn't even know the judge had been in to see my work. I was away from the tent when they first came and my six year old grand daughter kept the secret for an hour or so before they came back. Cute.
