About the Artist
Artist Statement
I work quickly in soft pastels and oils to capture the energy and light of things that are familiar to me: a sky, a river, a field, a place or face.Painting is like going into a trance. It’s difficult to talk until the complexities are solved and a way to relive moments in my life.
Artist Biography
Bachelor of Fine Arts from Syracuse University
My artistic career has been involved with many aspects of art: I lived in the Boston area for many years where I was a graphic artist for ad agencies, a publishing company, a printmaker and a professional intaglio printer. I did art therapy at a mental health center, and established a cooperative etching workshop and gallery on Newbury Street, and had a studio at the Boston Center for the Arts. When I moved to Vermont, I designed and etched glass, was an art director at National Life Insurance Company for 10 years, and then a freelance graphic designer. Since retiring, I’ve been able to get back to what I like best, drawing and painting.
