Artist Statement:
Although I have been involved
in the arts in some capacity
most of my life, primarily
music and writing, I have
painted only since my
twenties. It was a passion I
was able to indulge only once
a year or so, related to the
responsibilities of rearing
six children alone and working
as an Registered Nurse to
support them.
Nearly six years ago, my
entire life was catapulted
from its’ usual path by a
severe back injury which left
me totally disabled , unable
to work. Overnight, everything
I believed in was drastically
altered; it seemed my life was
stuck in re-wind. The rigors
of constant pain and lost
independence pushed me into an
abyss of depression I was
uncertain I had the strength
to combat and survive.
My sister remembered I had
always loved to dabble in
paint, started sending me
student-grade art supplies and
subscriptions to various
artists' journals to occupy
me. It worked. The very first
time I put brush to paper,
several hours flew by and I
realized how diminished my
awareness of pain was. I
started to study the journals
voraciously, painted daily and
totally immersed myself in the
study and practice of art. ...
