My Background

My Background
When I was in elementary, I loved everything about art. The small wooden easels, the smocks, gathering my supplies. Mostly, the smell of the powdered Tempura paint. Now, i use oil paints, acrylics, mica dyed resins, graphite and colored pencils. To name just a few.
Now, it's a rare and cherished day if I'm lucky enough to catch that smell

Now, it's a rare and cherished day if I'm lucky enough to catch that smell in the air. And be transported back to my childhood art room.
I was an art major all through high school. Upon entering college, I thought I was being lead down a different path. So I studied Environmental Science. While attending, I met someone and married. Kids came shortly afterwards and all forms of creating took a backseat to child rearing. So fast forward a little over a decade. Children older, imminent divorce and I started painting again. Enrolled in the local University to brush up on some skills. But I think I'm more self-taught than anything else.
So that's the basics about me. Thank you so very much for taking out the time to find out about my journey.
My Mediums
My Background
My Background
I use many different mediums, such as oils, acrylics, and pastels. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process. Each idea manifests in its own individual style. And each project can be vastly different. I paint, draw, photograph, sculpt, pour, cast, and throw (clay). But painting and drawing are my favorites.
My Inspiration

Some Fine Print
I enjoy hiking in my spare time and many of my pieces are directly influenced by these hikes in nature. I love recreating the vista's I've seen while hiking. Other sources of inspiration are my cats and my granddaughter. Though the cats usually inspire abstract works.
