I like to define myself as a free-style artist as I love all things creative.
I was born and raised in northern New Jersey where I had many opportunities to visit the museums of NYC. How they inspired me! I then went on to receive a bachelor’s degree in art and education, and a Master’s of Liberal Learning, (yes, a MA.L.L, degree), with concentrations in studio art/art history and art education from Marietta College, Marietta, OH, where I stayed for more than 30 years. While in Ohio, I married, raised a family and taught art until my retirement many years ago. And I received awards for both my teaching and artistic endeavors. After moving to SC 20 years ago, and soon joining the Crooked Creek Art League, I knew I had found my new home. Since then I have served the league in many capacities, became a signature member of the SC Watermedia Society, and won numerous awards from the league (19), the SCWS, Fairfield County’s Art Guild shows and the Columbia Museum of Art, Design League’s Runaway Runway recycled trashion shows, and the SC State Fair, with this year’s Best in Show award blowing me away.
Living most of my life as an art teacher, I was continuously exposed to, and engaged in, many media and styles of art, and have always enjoyed the freedom to be creative and experiment artistically. Lately I have been working in mixed media and collage, but I’ve also enjoyed drawing and pastels. Yet still, water media (all types of watercolor and acrylics) are my favorite! And now my great granddaughters are such delightful muses!!! For me, art and life just naturally go hand in hand and SC is giving me a wonderful new, creative palette to explore and enjoy!
