Thanks for visiting my website!
I remember receiving a set of pastels for a
Christmas painting from my dear parents.
What fun I recall! The sister at my school was
impressed with my dog painting, she asked if I
did it freehand, not sure what she meant, I
did not know what to answer, I was eight
years old.
I also recall painting a pastel painting of an
"Olde Philadelphia" street scene and putting
it into the bin, to see if it was accepted for
the school's literary magazine. I called the
painting "November Streets" as it was all
browns, oranges, and purples with row houses,
street lamps, steps, with a feeling of motion
to it. I was delighted that it was placed in the
center of the magazine and poetry was
written by the students with that title.
This was my first Olde Philadelphia painting.
..
I enjoy researching old photographs, also
using my memories, my imagination and try to
re-create a time period of how people lived
and worked in times past such as Olde
Philadelphia circa 1910, or perhaps in
Revolutionary War times including the
published broadsides, flags etc. - or paint a
country scene, or a personal portrait by
request.
My latest adventure is painting in an abstract
expressionism style which is such fun to
express the emotions of how I feel at a
particular time. These paintings are done
freely and quickly. Please see my webpages
numbered Abstract 1,2,3 in the Menu.
Also new for me is painting "en plein air" or in
the open air - especially when I am sitting on a
dock at my favorite Pocono pond, in a
impressionist style.
I am a self-taught artist and have worked in
watercolor, acrylics, and pastel on paper and
canvas and have been included in many
professional exhibitions over the years.
Also I enjoy working in fabrics, in an "art
quilt" style and am currently working on a
handmade quilt of Valley Forge circa 1777-1778
which I developed from one of my original
paintings of Valley Forge.
This has been an on-going project for several
years
I do accept work for commission from your
favorite photos, please get in touch for more
details, if you are interested.
Thanks for visiting!
