The Full Story
2020 was a challenging year. Creating art became my "go to" to find balance between my professional and home life. It all started with a cheap beginner set of acrylics and two canvases. Those first attempts will stay deeply hidden in my basement studio. Then came watercolor and in 2024 I added oil on canvas, canvas boards, and PVC as well as metal and wood. I paint colorful, always learning, what I see and/or feel.
​
Many, many years ago I attempted to learn to draw from a life model. The instructor was to say it politely, a poor choice to teach anyone anything. It made me feel so "untalented" that I did not pick up a brush or pencil for 30 years. Educating educators is important for children and for adults. Anyhow, that's my story and here we are...you and I.
