| Introduction | I am a painter-oil,watercolor and mixed media. My focus of late is on conservation of our New England waterways and our New England landmarks, the barn. Painting is my interior response to the world around me. I am driven, sometimes with passion sometimes with deep concern by the beauty and power, of the created world and its effect on man. My work continues to be a journey of letting go of myself and allowing the Divine to work through me and through my brush to capture images that reflect peace, at times tension and frequently subtle challenges. The Subject of my work most often reflects everyday life and encounters I experience as a woman, artist, mother, and teacher. The words of Piet Mondrian summarize my journey as an artist. “The role of the artist is humble. He (She) is essentially a channel." "Humanity is surrounded by divine art. My life's work has been an artistic adventure to capture these images of joy bringing pleasure and occasionally, introspection to one's heart, mind and spirit." - Aleta |

You get to ride the big roller coaster three times in a row. What will keep your dad from taking a bite out of your candy apple?
I make certain it is a candy apple with peanuts sprinkled on the coating. He does not eat peanuts.
