Artist Statement My children actually inspired me to paint. Both of them have art degrees. I was definitely in the "stick people" category, but was always a great admirer of fine art and in awe of those that could create. It was about 6 years ago, I was in my late 40's and my brain told me that if I could paint I would know it by now, but I enrolled in classes just the same. I honestly wasn't making a lot of progress and only continued because I loved how painting transports you to another dimension. My art teacher ended classes and I stopped painting for another 2 years. However Just 1 1/2 years ago I was fortunate to meet up with a wonderful artist/instructor and he has taught me so much in such a short time and I am finally getting it! I know I have a ways to go, but I surely am enjoying the journey. I am extremely fortunate to live in a place where I am always surrounded by beautiful and ever changing scenery.
