Bio
hobby artist... ... ... ... spreading her wings…
A native Rochestarian, and self proclaimed “hobby artist” has actually had shows at the CWO Gallery and at the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery. She has participated in ARTWalk, Artist Row at the Rochester Public Market, ArtAwake, Rochester Mini Maker Faire, Barnes & Noble Maker Faire, Rochester Artisan's Blue's Event, Rochester MakerSpace's Sunday Artists & Makers Expo (SAME), Wall Art for a Purpose, Finger Lakes Gallery & Frame "Fresh Ideas" show, Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester's ArtRageous Affair, RoCo 6x6 and Annual Members Exhibition, the NYS Fair, The Bridge Art Gallery 10th Anniversary show, and Congressional Arts Competition-First Place in New York’s 30th District. Currently she has 6 pieces at The Artists Cave in Sea Breeze, NY. She is also showing at Stony Point Art Gallery-East and the Notre Dame Retreat House. She is participating in the Irondequoit Passport to Art the last weekend of July. Her once favored medium was acrylic paints done in the monochromatic style for Finger Lakes landscape paintings. Recently she has been doing more faith based creations, creative experimental pieces, and meditative labyrinths. Adding labyrinths to a landscape gives it depth and a creative way to journey through the painting. Her immersive nature art is amazing and her intuitive art is whimsical. Her trail photo poetry has become a fun, creative and athletic hobby as well. Recently she was published in The Geneseean. Her scholastic training was throughout grade school and into college. Her favorite instructor is the incomparable Mr. Thomas O’Brien. She then had a decade or so period that was focused on work and everyday life. But in the past fifteen years she has renewed her passion for painting and multi-media arts. Yes, all art is for sale. She generally also tithes to a related group that hosted or inspired the piece of art. She also does commission work and lessons by request. This is her first time creating an art blog… enjoy!
