About The Artwork

As a child I was fascinated by the peonies in my grandmother's garden, the huge bloom made up from layers and layers of delicate petals. A season far too short, blooming for a few weeks in the spring, then gone. It takes patience for peonies, it can take 3 years for a new plant to bloom. Sadly, I never seemed to stay in one place long enough to enjoy their presence. If taken care of properly, a peony can live up to 100 years. I often wonder about my 'orphaned' peony bushes. Painting this peony allowed me to indulge my fascination with this extravagant flower. "All dampness and recklessness" as described by Mary Oliver in "Peonies" poem. I hope it will fascinate you as well.

I am a self-taught contemporary realist painter in both oil and acrylics. I currently live in the Cincinnati area after a recent move from Chicagoland. I began drawing as a child and continued on into adulthood. It wasn't until I became disabled in later life that I turned to painting for a creative outlet. In a few years, I began to display and sell my work through online galleries. My paintings reflect scenes from a life time of midwestern living. Vistas of windswept fields, shorelines, and country roads compete with the finite detail of a single flower or the unabashed closeup of the everyday. Light reflections, shadows and shade are a recurrent theme. Although damage from RA has severely limited my range of motion, I continue to paint whenever possible. I hope someday to participate in local art events and exhibits..
