About
I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. My first memories of drawing, hold images of the giant boxes of Crayola crayons and bright colored pens. Today I use tubes of watercolor and acrylic paints.
I was born in the Midwest. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree with an emphasis in fashion design from Mount Mary College, a small private institution, and then headed to New York City. After 22 years in New York City, I ventured to Northern Califoria where I settle in a small town by the sea.
I have worked in the fields of apparel manufacturing, clothing retailers, custom photography houses, and some of the top advertising agencies in the United States. The creation of art, in all these fields, is truly my first love.
In New York, I continued studying art whenever I could afford the time and money. I enrolled in classes at Parsons School of Art, The New School for Social Research, The Fashion Institute of Technology, and the historic Art Students’ League. I studied anatomy drawing, compositional drawing, oil painting, acrylic painting, watercolor painting, photography, fashion illustration, digital art, and advertising design.
My Studio space today. Definitely A Room With a View
Beautiful girls- of all ages- and their wishes are an essential theme in my art. Fashion, my first love in drawing, deeply inspires me with its long, lean lines. "The Lady in the Moon" can also be seen in my work.
As it happens, all good things must end. The Central west coast of Florida is calling. New People, places, and things- I love it!.
I love learning new things. Shortly after I moved California, I studied abstract acrylic painting with a local artist. I had never been one for abstract work, I consider my style more impressionistic. I was immediately impressed with the fact that I could capture the local atmospheric changes in this style of work quite readily. I will usually use this style of painting for my landscapes. My heart motif paintings are also a hybrid of this painting style.
Enough of all that, now sit back and enjoy the show!
