Author & Artist

In addition to painting stills, scapes, people & scenery ( using water color & acrylic), I’ve discovered as an artist, that my style, preference leans toward an “avant-garde” style!

On occasion I collect dried flowers, seeds, cones & mix colors from fruits and vegetables. I then build a canvas project of paint & natural findings from the backyard. On the evening of my “Art Talk”, I plan to demonstrate technique and “looseness” I feel while engaged with my art and share slides of other projects that were the inspiration from moods of the past!

Join us at 7:00 p.m. in the Lakes Region Art Gallery
in Tilton, NH for this presentation.

Admission is free and everyone is welcome.
