I'm a visual artist who likes to sing and write songs. I am a mother, wife, and writer who makes paintings and antique inspired dolls. I am intensely interested in how things work, and love learning something new. I love reading about and researching family history. I enjoy thinking up strange things that sometimes never make it to reality. But they feed other ideas. As you can see, I enjoy a lot of things, and I think that is a great gift!
I have always drawn and created things.... when I was a little girl I enjoyed sewing and drawing and making diaramas. I used to pull rocks out of Cold Stream Pond, and look for the shape of things in each one. I studied art in high school, and in college studied to become an elementary school teacher. I later continued studies in art Montserrat College of Art. My life was oriented around raising young children for a time. Now as they are growing I can direct more of my energies into art-making.
I sometimes feel pulled in two different directions - I love painting for painting's sake, whether in an abstract mode or figuratively. I also enjoy making creations that are reminiscent of the folk art of past times. I've decided to make both fine art and folk art, as I think they feed each other.
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my site, and to read about me.
