| ABOUT ME |
Life is good, being an artist. Creating is a privilege.
I am a professional artist, represented by two galleries in Door County, WIsconsin. Lately I'm painting a lot "en plein air," which has really improved my "seeing." As the Chinese say, "Look a lot, paint a little."
Since quitting my "day job" to follow my bliss 2 years ago, I'm dedicated to being an artist full tijme. I'm a painter and also a knitting designer/teacher. Have worked toward this goal for 20 years.
Art is a major part of my spiritual journey-- it leads me places that I couldn't have anticipated. The rewards are worth it.
FOrmerly I was a business software project leader, an English and French teacher, and have always been involved in teaching -- both painting and knitting.
I do too many things at once, being a Gemini. BUt as they say, "It's better to burn out than rust out." |
| THINGS I LIKE |
Music, love, literature, funny stuff, bad jokes, family & friends and the privilege of being an artist.
Art influences: JMW Turner, the Fauves, Winslow Homer, Nolde, Susan Rothenberg, Louise Bourgeois, John Singer Sargent, and Andrew Wyeth.
Oh -- and Barack Obama in 2008! |
| THINGS I DISLIKE |
Negativity and violence in any form. Bad coffee. Those inner (critical) gremlins that chatter in the heads of many of us artist types. |
| HOBBIES |
ART making, art books, art chat, other artists, art history -- you get the picture. ....Other passions: time w/ family/dear friends, the natural landscape, books, 12-step work, travel, scuba diving in Mexico, daydreaming, knitting and design, teaching, spiritual path-ing, writing, laughing, playing bridge, and living in the moment as best I can |
