| Introduction | After a 20 year career away from painting, I am making the commitment to return to my passion of creating oils on canvas or linen of subjects that fill my senses and move my soul. My figurative paintings depict people in peaceful contemplation, or evoke a sense of happiness, togetherness and contentment. Quiet scenes from nature often include children or objects that have a story begging to be told. Old people are a favorite of mine and are painted to portray a dignity conveyed by someone who loves them deeply. Because of this love for older people and my passion for healthy aging, I hold a Master’s degree in Gerontology. I also have a Bachelor’s in Art Therapy, valuing and teaching about the healing power inherent in the creative process. I am a life-long Wisconsin native who loves the variety the four seasons has to offer, but I also enjoy traveling to other parts of the country to gather ideas for my paintings. |
