"Secret Path" Fine Art Print

I have been painting since I was a child, first attending art classes on Saturday mornings; then studying Drawing and Painting at the University of Michgan followed by Columbia University. From there my paintings have been in Galleries in New York, St. Louis, Chicago, Boston and more. I am happiest when I am painting and totally focused on my work. I love the Sea, thus my paintings of it; I love trees and flowers thus my landscapes; I have currently begun making abstracts which I find fascinating to create. I love radiant colors, and painting textures which I think enhance what I am painting. I stopped painting for ten years after my beloved eleven year old son, Max, died of a Bone Marrow Transplant for Leukemia, and founded , an English Laungage Arts Curriculum for Middle School Children which is now a global organization. I began painting again when the owner of the Nakazawa Gallery in Hiroshima said to me, "You must paint again and I will have another exhibit for you." I am so grateful to her for that, as now I run my organization as well as paint, both of which I love doing.
