I believe art takes many forms in our lives. Art is the skill acquired by experience, study or observation through learning to see and appreciate. Natural and man made art is the world around us. Everything we see and use was a dream or a creation of someone’s originality. The beauty in the world is waiting for us to react and be creative. I like to draw and paint nature in both realistic and expressive ways.

My current focus has been oils and the change back to oils was incredible inspiration for me.. I turned two of my rooms into a studio and I can completely loose myself in my painting. My painting has grown over the years even though I am a beginner. Art is in the eye of the beholder and seeing what the artist meant is not always what a viewer may see. Each of us brings to a work of art our own individual background and as well as our likes and dislikes.

I hold a Bachelor’s of Science in art from Indiana University. I have enjoyed being creative through out my teaching career. I was able to encourage, direct, and foster the growth of creativity in students with the types of projects and classes I set up. I spent my last four years of teaching, in the art world. I have taught in both elementary and middle school in the Bellevue Community for 30 years and I am now retired from Bellevue Public Schools.

Learning never stops. If you are interested in any of the paintings or painting techniques just give me a call. I am willing to provide private or small groups lessons in several media. I choose to begin with drawing and then take students into other media.
