It can take a long time to realize a talent.
My working life was spent in New york City where I designed and
created clothing and made interior fashions for several decorators. About twelve years ago my husband and I retired to Columbia
Inspired by it's beauty I soon found myself doing photography, drawing and painting watercolors. Wanting to delve deeper into
the arts I enrolled at the University
of Albany's Empire State College.
I received a BS degree in Art and Art Studies. My diploma arrived on my 70th birthday!
I am a largely self taught artist, making realistic and
nonobjective pastels, watercolors and oils.
My work has been shown at the Old Chatham Country Store Gallery,
North Pointe Gallery, Columbia Greene College's Blue Hills Gallery and during
Columbia Berkshire Crafts Guild Studio tours.
Artist Statement:
I'm an artist
A sculptress
A shaper of things
A painter
A liar
An angel with wings.
I'm a joyfully young thing
But you may behold
an old lady - grotesque
Both timid and bold.
I'm multiple sided
Quite human, you see
And while fooling you all
I also fool me.
