Original Art, Impressionism, realism, abstract. OIl, alkyds, and Acrylics.
Art has been a passion of mine for over 30 years. Though I started coloring on a chalkboard ( and furniture and walls) when I was around 3 years old. People started requesting my work when I was 18 and attending Louisville School of Art.
I use to participate in local Juried Art Shows(my store kind of stopped me from this), I have been featured on local television and in several local papers. My paintings hang in private collections all over the world.
I now live on a working farm shared with my husband, my teenage son, 3 cats, 2 dogs and 7 Rocky Mountain Horses. It is a fabulous place to live. I also own and operate the local country store which is 114 years old.
I use several techniques to produce my original paintings. En plein air, where I sometimes finish the piece on location, sometimes I only paint a grisaille and photograph the scene where it is finished in the studio. Some work is strictly from a photograph. Still-lifes are painted from a either a composition in front of me or by photo. It is good to know how to paint from photos, since a lot of patrons send one for me to paint. Nudes, they are a lot tougher to get a hold of. There are a few work shops that offer models and it is a good thing, because my husband doesn't want to sit anymore.
No matter what genre I have chosen to work in my artwork is always a deeply personal endeavor. I hope you will enjoy!
