About Me

Girly glitter comments from www.GirlyTags.com
EVERY ARTIST DIPS HIS BRUSH IN HIS OWN SOUL, AND PAINTS HIS OWN NATURE INTO HIS PICTURE. - Henry Ward Beecher
As an artist I am defined as being a self taught artist. I think the definition of a self taught artist means you haven't had a formal art education. I do not feel truely self taught though because I have had classes, workshops and other artist who have influenced my development as an artist. It certainly is a continuos evolution and one I don't think I will ever be satisfied in completing in my lifetime. I just continue and strive to learn more. My paintings have primarily been done as therapy or some may say as a hobby. I do sell my work but not in the way that can be classified as an actual career in art. It certainly isn't enough to say I earn my living as an artist. It is simply a form of self expression and a way for me to visually record things I find beautiful in my world. It is the one thing in my life I can truely feel is uniquely me.
Thanks for visiting my page. I hope you are inspired by my visions and will also be looking for the beauty that is in you world.

My Interests

Family, friends, painting, cooking, gardening, nature, creating a living environment that encourages life to be simple, stimulates all of my senses and gives comfort to those who visit.

I'd like to meet:

I AM INTERESTED IN MEETING OTHER VISUAL ARTIST, BEING INSPIRED BY THEIR WORKS OF ART AND LIFE STORIES, AND SIMPLY SHARING THE PLEASURES OF BEING AN ARTIST.I AM ALSO INTERESTED IN MEETING FRIENDS WHO SIMPLY WANT TO "KEEP IT REAL".
I am not interested in having a large "collection" of myspace friends just for the sake of numbers. If I add you and beyond the initial acceptance there is no further connection then I am likely to just do a little housekeeping. I guess if you never comment or reply back to me then you wouldn't even notice when I clean house :-)

Simple the facts of life...

OK, so this has nothing to do with art and everything to do with having to accept problems as being a part of life. Why is it when one thing goes wrong the dominoes you have worked so hard at putting ...

Egg Painting

Today I wasn't sure what to paint. I have some pencil sketches started for a larger painting but that seemed like to much process for me to satisfy my immediate urge to paint. So, I set out looking ar...
