This is a self portrait. I am a retired elementary teacher that decided to pursue art after becoming widowed and empty-nested.
I moved from Juneau, Alaska back to Oregon. Then began studying art seriously having minored in art in college. I took classes from Barbara Berry, Judy Morris, Jan Kunz, Claudia Nice, Michael Atkinson, and Frank Webb all to speed further along the learning continuum. I sketch in pen and ink on my trips and add watercolor washes. I mainly love painting watercolors. It is a difficult, but challenging media to work in. There are so many different techniques to learn and effects that can be achieved that I enjoy it immensely.
I have worked with two art groups since moving back to Oregon in 2001. The first group was from Bend, Oregon and I am currently in the Grand Ronde Art Guild. We participate in the Amity Daffodil Art Show, the PCL art auction, and the Coastal Hills Art Tour annually. My work is sold at the Spirit Mtn. Casino Hotel gift shop. I also participate at the Tribal Elder's Bazaar held each year in December as well as selling my work through my yearly fliers.
The work posted prior to this that follow on this blog are the first cardsets I created. They are still available to purchase. You can send a check or money order with the number and name of the sets you wish to buy and they will be sent in the mail.
