“I Have an Idea” was completed 10 years ago when I was using a printmaking studio in Cambridge MA named after the abstract expressionist painter Maud Morgan. I had recently interviewed the ninety-something Morgan for a book I was researching called Women Who Could… and Did (published in 2002, Karmakitaj.com. After I saw Morgan’s abstract expressionist work, I became interested in that genre, but wanted to draw a (non)realistic distorted figure. This whimsical head of a man came out of my hand and head. I’ve no idea from whence it came but it reminded me of a cartoon figure, so I drew a circle above his head to indicate a thought. I then printed it on a big printing press on art paper and made copies in several different colors, which I’ve lost track of. I still am amused by this guy. It’s meant to be comical, not serious in any way, but if the viewer sees meaning in it, all the better. I then found a wonderful frame that it seemed to find was a happy home. The frame is antique-style with layers of gold and aqua wood, ready to hang.

Making art is an encore career for me. Years ago when I hosted a community access TV show called “Alivelihood:New Adventures As We Age,” I interviewed an artist who had been a German professor. She invited me to her art studio. I loved painting and collaging with her immediately and never stopped painting. Soon I discovered the ancient , now popular medium of encaustic, hot pigmented wax, and was enraptured with the possibilities. I studied with many sterling artists learning to make mono prints and paintings with the wax and a torch to burn each layer to the one beneath. I attended workshops at the International Encaustic Conference in Provincetown each spring. Next, I added acrylic and mixed media to my repertoire. My most recent paintings are created with oil mixed with cold wax and sometimes a medium to increase flow and transparency. The subject matter that intrigues me lately is painting the abstracted, distorted human figure, often with backgrounds depicting a fantasy room or landscape. My life outside of art encompasses many wonderful things: living in the country in Massachusetts with my husband of 40+ years and 2 adorable rescue dogs from Mexico, dancing Argentinian tango and studying with one of the world's most accomplished teachers, still riding my horse a little bit, wintering in San Miguel de Allende, MX to name a few.
