Biography
Painting is my passion. Not a day passes that I desire to paint something. I also teach painting techniques at local art centers.
I have painted all of my life and being an artist is my full-time profession. I have a BFA in Fine Art and a MFA in Surface Design.
I was a successful Fiberartist for 25 years and reverted back to painting in 2005 after a fire took my studio and I lost all of my weaving equipment, fabrics, yarns and merchandise. Since then I created hundreds of paintings, which I show nationally. My specialty painting is heavily textured inlay work into fresco. Lately I have been painting large abstracts. I also draw mandala designs for meditation purposes.
I want to sell on Artfinder as I have been registered on this site for quite some time and have seen so many beautiful paintings for sale.
Also reading about all the artists is fascinating. I wanted to sign up much sooner, but you know how it is.....Finally I am getting around to it as I think selling through Artfinder could really enhance my business.
