Paintings

Artist’s Statement:

Painting is one of the great joys of my life. Taking me deeply into the nature of things, it offers communion, deep connection, the opportunity to immerse myself in beauty, light, color and form. The kinesthetic response to what is seen and experienced is a particular avenue into understanding the structure of things and allows us to express our love and delight as we participate actively in the Creation itself.

As a child in California, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to study drawing and painting, to work in a number of mediums, enjoying the particular virtues of each. Then life took over. I went to college, worked for awhile, then went on to graduate school in psychology. Though I have always drawn, it wasn’t til we started taking our daughters on vacation that I began to paint again. That led to taking art classes, exhibiting my work and joining the Pastel Society of NC. I have participated in many exhibitions since, taken many workshops, and had two solo shows.

Paintings not in private collections are for sale. If you are interested in owning one of them, please contact me directly. Recently I have been doing portraits and pet portraits by request. Contact me for more information.
