Ellis Island Collage

I am a self taught NY to Georgia artist who has always loved art and the history behind it. I enjoy painting nature and animals in a mixture of the abstract and the real . My favorite mediums are both Acrylic and modeling paste for texture and sometimes if the mood strikes me even in Oil and Watercolors. In between raising two wonderful children and a career in finance, I continued to delve into the right side of my brain by drawing, writing poetry or acting in our local community theater. But, then the fun really began as I started my full time adventure of blending beautiful colors onto a canvas. I love what Maya Angelou once said that “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have” because, my constant joy is when I am challenging myself while creating a painting and my hope is that I can travel the very exciting road to my creative side for many years to come.
