About
the Artist
|
 I
love
the
wilderness
of
the
Adirondack
Mountains
-
and
most
other wild
places too. I find peace and harmony when I am out in the mountains
hiking or skiing, or paddling my canoe in one of the rivers or ponds.
This is what I hope to convey in my paintings.
Growing up in Wisconsin, I learned
to love the outdoors as a child. When in college my family moved to
Kentucky and I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from
Western Kentucky University. I taught art in northern New York for 31
years, but always created art when I had time.
When I retired, I moved to Saranac Lake
and started painting full time. Comfortable with both oils and
watercolors, I use whatever medium seems appropriate for what I want to
paint. Working 'en plein air' (outdoors, on location) has become my
passion although I also paint in my home studio when weather prevents
outdoor work.
My paintings can be found in the Adirondack Artists' Guild
Gallery, 52 Main St., Saranac Lake (518-891-2615) and in regional
as well as
national juried shows.
HERE are some of my other projects.
