Working from my studio in
Arizona, I love to create abstracts and abstract
landscapes. I've been working as an artist for a
relatively short period of time (now about 4 years), and I
LOVE it.
My work is starting to be
collected (internationally, even!) and I enjoy
creating pieces that make me smile. My goal is to
create works that people feel they just must have! I
love to imagine my art (my art???) hanging
in other people's homes and offices. It gives me
such a thrill to create on a blank canvas in my
little studio and then ship it out to someone else
who I hope will enjoy it for many years.
To any of you out there who have actually purchased
my art...a sincere THANK YOU! You're on my Christmas
card list!
What I've done:
I've worked in marketing for
many years, recently published a book (Top Sellers
Tell...) about top sales pros in the direct sales
industry. I started painting because I love colors and
I've always loved art. I never thought I'd actually ever
sell a painting, but alas, I've been blessed.
I concentrate mostly with
online sales (because it suits me and I'm fairly web
savvy), however I have tinkered with the idea of selling
through galleries. I'm not sure I'm quite there yet.
Where I've been:
I moved here to Tucson from
Portland (too rainy, but a great city!), after living in
Detroit area (too industrial, but will always be "home")
for many years. I love the Tucson sunshine, palm trees,
cacti and sunsets...what amazing sunsets! I miss truly
fresh salmon from the NW and Buddy's pizza from MI (I
have them shipped out frozen--they're that good!)
My life in a nutshell:
I have a wonderful partner--he's my greatest support and
best friend, a beautiful daughter (6 going on 16) and a
20 year old cat (she's still kickin' although blind,
deaf and incontinent).
Life is up, it's down, it's a
struggle, it's a laugh. What more can I say?
