What mark am I from ever present wonder to distant pasts and future ponder?
I have a great love of history, a need to know what occurred in the area that I am painting. The memories in the remnants that history left behind move me to create. Remnants such as: The magic of the "witness trees" in Missouri that reach their strong branches to the heavens in somber worship. The empty train station in Virginia with its quiet whispers form the past, of life, hope, and new horizons. Or men sent to battles to form a nation, that now sleep in fields which hold their secrets. The beauty still seen in the weathered boards of an Indiana farm home where you can sense the presence within its walls of the many stories of each family that lived there and worked the land. Morning light on the Pennsylvania hillsides, or the evening shadows in a quiet Michigan woods. The sounds of the lake echoing in the background, reminding one once again of the native Americans that once fished and hunted these lands.
I am thankful to be given the ability to capture these feelings on canvas, to preserve for the future the textures and colors of the past.
I enjoy working in acrylics, combining oil and watercolor techniques with a glazing process over a textured surface.
Many of my paintings are a combination of memory, painting on site, and with the help of photography, in my studio. All work is done with a strong spiritual connection to the area where I am working.
Color, texture and movement in nature has always excited me. Because I am a teacher as well as an artist, I am always exploring new ways to inspire my students and myself.
Works for sale are currently exhibited in the Daybreak Gallery in Manistee, MI.
