My interest in art developed in my later years of life.
After painting our home interior I experienced a warm inspiration to have colorful art on our freshly painted walls, and I was sure to accomplish having to achieve this. After searching with YouTube showing anyone how to create with paint and work with artists products, and how to make your own frames, or how to stretch canvas, and working with different tools was a true interest that I took in life. Learning to create with artist products by searching the internet drew my interest in painting art that I created to hang up in our home and are still on our walls to this day.
In September of 2011 the real work had started. I had joined an art guild in my hometown to meet and study from experienced Artist. I truly enjoy meeting and talking with people who have the talent of all kinds of art. My art is being displayed in professional businesses through the art guild when assigned at local restaurants, libraries, municipal buildings and our local school district. Being a member of the art guild, members sign up by paying membership dues, signing up for job duties to keep the art guild going, and to demonstrate artist techniques and ideas to share. June 6th, 2016, I was the guest speaker at Washington Township Art Guild to talk about my Etsy shop, and all that it has to offer. I am very excited in sharing as much information to all members that are eager to open an Etsy store.
In October of 2011 my husband was a great supporter in setting up my first art gallery show that was held in our garage. With 2 paintings sold and one commissioned we both knew what a great experience that it was, and the turnout was better than we had expected. In December 2011 I attended my very first art and craft show and was happy to have sold one painting, my dragonflies. Not letting this disappoint me that only one had sold, it really encouraged me to continue to create. My wisdom words of an artist are, "If I could paint and create 24/ 7 I would". I love to create with paint that is still a growing passion and is truly from my heart.
My artist quote is "I am the physical mechanical part to create, God is my spiritual whole to create the art".
I will continue this journey along with loving life, and living at its fullest.
Truly from the artist heart
