Art work

If I was normal I would have graduated with a BA in something in 1971, but I wasn’t. I left school for travels, came back, fell in love, got married then moved away, again. When I returned to Michigan, I wanted to finally complete my degree. I attended Eastern Michigan University from 2001 to 2004, and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting.

My favorite medium back then was watercolor, but it was so challenging, I got frustrated and returned to acrylics for years.

Now, to hell with the challenge, I've returned to watercolors and have fallen in love with pastels. 

I might be 76, but I'm still up for new adventures (Morocco awaits in October).

The year 2005 brought tragedy to my family, as my son died at the young age of 26. My world was crushed, to say the least. It threw me off psychologically and artistically for 10 years. I had no interest in anything. Somehow, I broke through the black hole and joy and color reappeared in my life and in my art.

Since 2015 I have been creating, exhibiting and selling my work with much happiness. My travels have made a big impact on my subject matter. A trip to Costa Rica in 2019 impacted me greatly. The Lipstick Trees in the Tortuguero National Park was my favorite subject till after Covid.  Once we were allowed to travel again I resumed my activities  all over Europe and Southeast Asia. These memories are just waiting to make an appearance in my work.
