3730 Sandspur Lane Nokomis, FL 34275
From June-November 25 Hemlock Lane Woodstock, N.Y. 12498
My two homes have instilled in me a love of both mountains and seashore. I am currently immersed in landscape painting and working ‘en plein air’ allows me to become a part of the nature which has always inspires me Often I will do quick sketches out of doors, take a few reference photos and then let my imagination influence the outcome as I complete the work in my studio. My art has been a reflection of my dance throughout life. Early in life I worked in oils and for years sculpture in clay and bronze satisfied my sense of “the dance”. Now I find that color and light beckon me to work in pastel. Always my work has been a form of meditation and a source of peace.
EDUCATION: BS in Educ. Primarily self taught in the field of art
OCCASIONAL WORKSHOPS have been a stimulus throughout the years
APPRENTICESHIP for more than five years in the studio of FRANK COLSON was instrumental in teaching me the art and technique of mastering clay and bronze including an understanding of casting.
