Having worked artistically as an Interior Designer for over forty years, I always had this thought that I could and should paint. I finally made the time to pursue this dream in 2002.
I grew up in Chicago, left home to attend Purdue University and ended up moving to St. Simons Island shortly after graduation. St. Simons has been my home where I raised my family and pursued a career in Interior Design. It was only after my three daughters left home that I turned my interest to oil painting. It was love at first brush stroke.
Recently, having the opportunity to travel to Australia for a couple months each year, has opened another influence in my artistic pursuits. I drawn my inspiration from the landscapes and culture of the Golden Isles, my family and the places I travel.
To paint is to live in the moment. This quote by Mervyn Levy from Painting for All sums up my feelings about my quest into the painting world. “To take up painting, no matter the age, or point in one’s life, is to have entered into a new, and deeper awareness of the whole meaning of existence, to have tasted spiritual refreshment, and to have found the perfect form of creative relaxation.”
