Artist's Bio
When I was about 5 years old and someone asked that inevitable question of "what do want to do when you grow up", I answered "go to Harvard for art". No, I didn't earn an art degree from Harvard, but I enjoyed a few weeks of art camps and a middle school art elective, and enthusiastically tackled creative projects at every opportunity. There were many, from cards to T-shirts to designing school play backdrops. Finally in my late 40s, I took a painting class and there was no turning back. I've greatly benefited from workshops with numerous art instructors as well as from the companionship of my art friends, many of whom I found in the Painting Miles community. Painting Miles provided my first foray into publicly displaying my art in 2017. In 2020, a painting was juried into the Cary Gallery of Artists "Small Treasures" show and another 8 into the “6x6” exhibit at the Halle Cultural Arts Center. As a member of the Fine Arts League of Cary and critique groups, I’ve enjoyed more opportunities for learning and sharing. That’s art to me - learning, sharing, and encouraging.
