BFA-UniversityKansas-1989
I have been painting since 1989 in oils, watercolor and acrylics. My subject is most often nature (flowers, woods, ponds and trees). I feel a connection to nature and it gives me peacefulness. Since I
cannot copy nature, I just interpret it my way and that usually lies somewhere between impressionism and the abstract. I like it when you know that it is a painting of a pond but you are not quite sure or you see other things in the painting. My watercolor and acrylic work gets very abstract-drawing on the artist within. Some call it unconscious art but I believe it is really an interpretation of something you have orare experiencing and comes from the subconscious, occasionally telling a story I may not have intended to tell. Influencing sources are derived from Monet, Oriental Art and God.
I have had my work on display at the Frameworks Gallery, The Carriage House Gifts, The Artists’ Loft, The Artists’ Studio- Gallery and Julies Jewelry, in Lawrence Ks. I exhibited at the Galleria in Sioux Falls, S. D, and Yeldarb Gallery in NoTo Ks for five years, where I had three featured shows and a show at the Wildwood Winery in Paxico, Ks . , The Crooked Post Winery , and a show in Wamego, KS. I taught watercolor classes at the Ottawa Art Center, Ottawa Ks. I also showed at the Court House and the library in Lawrence Ks. In 2004 I opened The Artists’ Studio Galley Lawrence Ks and showed work for three months, showed at the Vintage Sunflower Gallery in Topeka in 2015, The Prince of Peace Church in Topeka and Valeo in Topeka Ks. The Eagles Rest Lawrence Ks, at Morris Art Center in NoTo and at the “Creations of Hope” in Topeka.
