Frostbite Painting

I attended the University of Oregon as an Interior Design major and worked in that field for a few years. However, change intervened and I moved from Oregon to San Diego and was unable to break back into the field due to lack of following in the area. So, I worked in the aerospace and scientific field negotiating and administering contracts for many years, getting an MBA along the way. During that time I always thought about my art and ached to return to the art field. A few years back I began designing and knitting my own sweaters which I still do. Then I started making jewelry which has been my primary focus until I started painting. I hadn't painted for years and, at that time, painted realistically. I realized though that I was an abstract painter and, with the exception of very few pieces, all of my paintings are abstract. I am working with pure composition and colors and I love it.
