| Introduction | I harbored a secret almost my entire life, I wanted to be an artist. My oldest brother was the artist, I never felt I compared. In 1980 my brother died in an accident and I shut down on many levels. I was no longer painting. In 2001 I abruptly left a 24 1/2 year career that was far removed from art. I had to change and I finally understood why I had gone back to art stores, buy supplies and signing up for classes I never took. I missed art. I took a painting class and have painted constantly since then. My art literally exploded out of me. I have a passion for painting that I know will be with me forever. I love color and I love movement. I never know what I will paint next, nor do I care, I just jump in. I see and feel things now that I never did 30 years ago. I know one thing for certain, I have my brother Don to thank for my love of art and for always encouraging me. I know he is smiling at me. |
