Labor Day on Clear Creek Trail Painting

Please enjoy my new art vlog "The Git Go", featuring painting demonstrations, garden shenanigans and fun in my vegan kitchen! Link to my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL_0JmbtbGYsEGxso30g5Zg I am fortunate to have been the daughter of two very talented and professional artists. I was raised in New York by my father who was an illustrator and my mother who was a fine artist. I spent many years looking over their shoulders and I consider those to be the best art lessons of my life. Even though I took various individual art courses and attended Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, my parents were always my best critics! I have spent quite a bit of time in the commercial art field doing book illustration, graphic design, murals and other projects, such as pen and ink drawings for a nationally syndicated humor column, cartoons for Celestial Seasonings, and a series of beer labels for Irons Brewing Company in Colorado. Currently, how- ever, I am focused solely on my fine art career. I specialize in painting the figure, with a particular fondness for the Mother and Child theme, although any depiction of the “love aspect” is what inspires me. I also paint still lifes and landscapes. Any excuse to pick a bouquet of flowers or go for a hike in search of a riveting landscape is most welcome. Whatever the environs of life, you can always find me behind an “art desk” of one kind or another, be it an easel, a camera lens or a computer! I have been living and working as a professional artist in Colorado since 1976. My approach to art includes: my reverence for all forms of life and the loving and creative relationships which they form, my recognition of the light that pervades all, and my love of color.
