Artist Statement

I started my artistic journey painting realism in oils. I graduated to abstraction in acrylics drawn by the freedom of expression. My current artworks are an amalgamation of the two creating vivid semi-abstracts that I hope will bring joy and light to any room in a home thus contributing to its charm. I am delighted to now be a part of the Five Deuces family.

Biography

As a young child I spent countless hours drawing animals, people and scenery. However the reality if the job market intervened and I pursued a career as a H. R. professional. Upon retiring I once again indulged my passion for art. Initially I painted landscapes and animals in oil. But soon my imagination drove me to investigate the abstract world. I indulged in the bright colors, the fantastical shapes, the various textures and intriguing techniques that acrylic abstraction offered. I started showing at a local gallery and soon expanded my horizons. To date I have sold artworks from Florida to Illinois and from Montreal to Vancouver. Since 2016 I have regularly exhibited at both Coco Art Galleries in Naples and Estero as well as various Estero Art League special exhibits. From 2005 to 2017 I displayed art with Comité Art D'Oevres and was president for 4 years.
