My Background
I began painting after I retired from 40+ years of working and raising a family! I am mostly self-taught but enjoy taking workshops to learn new techniques. I recently began teaching a class in using texture in acrylic painting and have learned a lot from my students!
My Medium
I primarily paint with acrylic paint on canvas. I do like to add in some texture with sand, salt, drywall compound, or other materials that interest me when the painting calls for it.
My Inspiration
I spend the winter months in Florida and am inspired by the ocean, native birds, and beautiful nature preserves. In the summer and fall, I am at Morning Glory Farm in Illinois with a whole different perspective including farm animals and the scenic rural countryside.
