A Brief History

I've been studying art since 1990. I've always loved to draw, but was never actually very good at it. In spite of a lack of natural ability, I was interested enough to give it a try. I found a wonderful teacher and stayed with her for 7 years. Between that and uncounted workshops, all with great teachers, I've continued studying. I think I really enjoy learning more than anything else. The nice thing is, you never learn it all, so you can keep going. I'm always looking forward to the next thing, whatever it may be.

Over the years I've done outdoor art shows and had my work exhibited in some very nice places, including the Lyme Art Association gallery in Lyme, Connecticut, the Southern Vermont Art Center in Manchester, Vermont, the Chaffee Center in Rutland, Vermont, and the Oak Ridge Art Center, as well as some private galleries. I still enter juried shows and paint almost every day.

By the way, I happen to be a Capricorn Sun with a Leo Moon, married to a Leo Sun with an Aquarius moon. It's been an interesting life!
