The Artist about herself

All my life, I have lived in a world filled with creativity and art. I have had wonderful teachers who showed me the magic of being creative. Being expressive through various avenues, including drawing, painting, ceramics, textile, and other crafts. Their guidance inspired me to continue to pursue my artistic endeavors. In recent years, I have participated in numerous workshops taught by prominent watermedia artists. As a result, my work, like the creative environment I live in, continues to evolve.

In 1989, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I was devastated when I heard the news. While I was undergoing several operations and radiation, I began to explore watercolor and watermedia work. In 1994, treatments ended. I feel confident that I have overcome the disease.  In the process, I have gained a new perspective on what is truly meaningful to me. Now, I worry less about trivial things and enjoy the present which includes continuing to explore the endless possibilities of watercolor, watermedia, and collage.

Gardening is also one of my interests which is probably why most of my paintings are of botanical subjects. I feel that the bright colors, beautiful transparencies, and textures inherent in watermedia and collage give life and emotion to my work.

Lotus

The lotus origins are in China and India. The leaves are large, flowing, and can grow between three to four feet in height. The flowers are pink and open to a size of about are eight to ten inches in diameter. The lotus has been associated with Buddhism and spiritual enlightenment. The beauty of the lotus plant contrasts sharply to the muddy, bog conditions in which they grow. In some varieties their roots and seeds are a source of food for the Asian culture. Leaves are used as a wrapping for food items that require cooking. The dried pods are used today as floral decorations. I can thank my neighbor Diana for sparking my interest in lotus plants and water gardening and teaching me an appreciation for the plant’s history and significance.
