In 2009, on the advice of well-meaning family and friends, I signed up for a painting class. Once a week I was to take a break from a very difficult phase of my life. I didn’t make huge progress with my painting skills but I loved the social aspect, the supportive attitude of fellow students and instructors. I showed up, I kept at it.
Many years later and with many art classes under my belt, I have embraced making art. I have experienced being so present with my art that the rest of the world drops away. I want to keep that creative part of me exercised, confident, ready to be challenged.
My medium is acrylic, typical subject is landscapes.
