About
I’ve been a weaver, shop owner, woodworker of bright painted Florida themes. A maker, always creating something. Fortunately, there were art fairs, interior designers or galleries for the output.
My husband and I moved to Taos in 1995. I had longed to live in New Mexico and to become a REAL artist painting with oil. I worked constantly. In the studio all day. Loving every moment and the process. Showing at the Taos Art Association, now the TCA, juried exhibitions and represented by Fenix Gallery.
Artist Statement
I call myself an artist . . . yet now I don’t produce much work to be shown. I often throw away or paint over work. Long periods go by of not working at all.
At present time:
I’m a student learning acrylic paint vs oil
Previously, I always had an idea of where to start & where to go
Now I work short periods fast & instinctively
Then days or weeks can go by
I’m keeping my beginner’s mind open
I’m keeping my ‘don’t know’ mind open
I’m keeping on keeping on
Sometimes I like what emerges
