About 2 and a half years ago I decided to learn to paint with oils. I had intended to learn to paint a long time ago, but hey--life got in the way. I started with figure and still life. People really interest me more than landscapes or still life so that's what I wound up doing the most, but with figure, the faces are fairly vague so last year I started studying faces (with PattiTrostle- who is a great teacher by the way)much harder for me than still life, as an extra flower isn't noticed but an extra eye or nose would be. I am adding this to my repertoire so if you are interested hiring someone to do a painting of your little darling call for details. I will be adding new work to this website so check in later to see what's new.

I see art in most every moment of my life. Here are some digitally rendered (til I paint with oil) moments from recent trips to Loches, France and Leland, Michigan. Thank God for GIRLFRIENDS with open arms (and homes in interesting places.)

Love that versatile polaroid film...push it, move it around before it cures, cook it in a water bath and remove the emulsion, pull apart early and stamp with it. 100 kinds of fun. I have an 8x10 processor and film... call for details if you want a really different kind of portrait.

about

me....in a nutshell
Photography has been my passion for 35 years or so. It's about seeing...light, dark, composition and shapes.It is a natural progression for me to delve into drawing and oil painting. It's in my fingers and it has to come out, simply put. I was chosen as a school-ager for painting murals in hallways, etc. but I didn't realize I could follow my heart and be successful so I tried for many years to be what I thought I should be instead of ME.So here I am, doing what I love-- ever hopeful that you will love it too.Listen to your heart and follow your passion. The result will surely be success. My mantra for 2011 is: Skip & sing while staying on my path.

I am lucky in that I always find awe inspiring beauty almost every where I go. Driving anywhere... Who knew I would be so smitten with learning to paint landscapes? This summer I have been absolutely loving the entire process of learning to paint my surroundings. And I spent some time painting gestures from life, concentrating on faces (20 minute paintings.)
