I've been painting in oils since I was sixteen years old- and that's a long time! I graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1982. I've painted ever since, although returning to school at the University of Pennsylvania had me slow my production way down for a while.
I work part time at a library, and teach a couple painting classes a week in the evenings. I'm raising my two teenage kids, who keep me busy but happy. I paint as often as I can, but prefer working in long sessions three days a week- which lately just isn't possible!
The last few months I have been painting much more quickly than the way I normally paint. I'm pushing myself to work very small, and finish up within one day, but two or three days at the most. It's been fun and challenging to work so quickly. I am after only that which matters most.
