Shark’s Eye Shell Acrylic on Canvas 11 X 14
Art has been a part of my life since I was very small. My parents always supported my interest in the arts and painting, and at the age of 12 they encouraged me to start serious art classes in a children’s program at the Silvermine Guild of Art. At that time I settled on oil painting and concentrated on still life for many years.
After I completed college and started a family, I studied portrait and figure work using pastels with Elmer Taflinger, a noted artist in Indianapolis. Later, lessons from William Ashby, a portrait and seascape painter, led to more classes at John Herron Art Institute and Purdue Continuing Education.
Over the years, I primarily focused on perfecting my painting techniques, both in watercolor and acrylic. I enjoy acrylic because the drying time is quick; you can make changes right away; the colors can be kept clean; and, with the different mediums, edges can be controlled.
My work has been sold at art shows and exhibitions. However, I continue to explore opportunities that will help me find a style that best expresses who I am.
