Artist statement
I love the colors and surprising shapes of individual fruits, vegetables and flowers. Capturing my "up close and personal" experience with plants is what my work is about. My original watercolor paintings, prints and notecards are brilliantly colored, bold designs suitable for cheerful occasions and contemporary settings. I produce cards and prints from my paintings.
Recent additions to my portfolio include graphite and ink drawings of various non-botanical themes. Doing something that's a challenge keeps me fresh.
Biography
My early education was in botany and horticulture. After a career in agri-business, a diagnosis of MS forced me to rethink how else I could use my abilities. Creating art pulls together all the essential pieces of "me," a means to make a living and a meaningful place in the world.
My work can be seen at the Howdle Gallery in Mineral Point, Wis., or on my website.
