There’s
no doubt that past and present experiences mold our
personality. By nature, I am passive but I can be
a fearless advocate of a cause I believe in. I
fervently tuck anything unpleasant away in the deepest
recess and outwardly rejoice in the most insignificant
pleasure. I am a true “glass half full” girl
and proud of it! In my profession of plastic
surgical nursing, I work with the human form and the
perception of beauty everyday.
For these
reasons, I suppose it’s no surprise that I paint what
appeals to me most; people. My portraits and
figurative paintings are simple and straight
forward. There are no hidden agendas, deep
meanings or abstraction. Whether it is a portrait
or fine art piece, my intention is to give you just
enough information so you can finish the story.
When
the last college tuition was sent off, I vowed to check
some things off my “bucket list.” I wanted to
learn to fly, play piano, paint portraits, sculpt and
learn a foreign language. I haven’t made it to
the sculpting or the foreign language………yet –
but I am living the dream. I’m an instrument
rated pilot. I play piano well enough for my own
pleasure and it is my sincerest hope that my paintings
will offer you pleasure. Every time I pick up a
brush, I aim to do better than yesterday…….so stay in
touch and see where life takes my art next.
Why
do I paint? I must……
