Bio
Having taught art for many years to all ages and having grown up with a mother interested in assorted crafts, my art experience covers a variety of media and techniques. I am constantly experimenting with ideas and materials. When something catches my eye or an idea pops into my head, it often becomes a work of art.
My artwork includes acrylics, watercolors, original art quilts, block prints, scratch art, digital paintings, photographs, ink drawings, gourd art, and various three-dimensional art including hand felted wool head figures. I use a variety of subjects including flowers, animals, still life, landscape, and maritime.
Most of my work is representational although I sometimes work with abstracts. I have also developed a technique I call "Puzzle Paintings" in which I cut a board into puzzle type pieces, paint each of these segments individually, then put them back together to create the completed, slightly distorted looking work.
