I am a native of northeastern Massachusetts and have always been fascinated with flowers and the world around me - landscapes, gardens, plants, buildings, and urban streets.
Throughout my life, I have been drawn to art, and as a teenager even imagined becoming an artist. As an adult, my husband and I raised three sons and built our careers leaving time for little else.
After I retired, we became snowbirds and I began to seriously pursue art, first drawing the botanical subjects I love. Through personal exploration, art classes at the Morton Arboretum (Chicago), the Art Institute at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, and The Drawing Studio (Tucson) and workshops at TPS, I now find art an old friend providing great relaxation and pleasure.
This painting, Loch Awe is a fond reminder of a holiday Geoff and I took to Scotland. The moody loch, often shrouded in clouds, changed throughout the day. Here, in late afternoon the clouds had lifted and the peaceful blues, greens, greys, and purples so typical of western Scotland became evident.
