Artist Statement:
I developed an interest in
art at age 8 when I saw a TV
program about Jackson Pollock.
I did my first work using oils
on stretched canvas. A
colorful mess that hung in my
family home for years.
Throughout the years I took
courses in college and at
night. I did silk screen, wood
carving, and a little
painting. However, I became
too busy to do anything more
until I retired. I again took
classes and did some
assemblage from tree parts.
Too bad but most rotted away
in my yard. Finally in 1999 I
began to paint my children
from old photographs while
taking a course in Drawing the
Human Form. With encouragement
from friends I have continued
to paint trying to develop my
own style. I hope there is
something in my collection
that evokes a feeling that I
try to capture when I paint.
