Featured Artist of the Month
Artist Statement
I painted in oils and acrylic in the 1970’s. During that time I painted with various art guilds, as we moved from state to state including Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico. I took classes, sold paintings and won ribbons in Denver, Casper and Riverton Wyoming. I had a one-man show in Riverton before deciding to put painting aside to raise a family.
I went back to college to get my third degree in 1991, this time in Interior Design. I owned my own company for 26 years and loved helping clients remodel their homes and offices. I also did home additions.
After retiring, painting came back into the picture, but this time I decided to tackle a new medium, watercolor!
I am a member of the Art Students league of Denver and participated in their Summer Market in 2022. I am also a member of the Colorado Watercolor Society, The Arts Committee at St Andrew United Methodist Church and the Littleton Fine Arts Guild.
I am the Show Chairman at St Andrew and am responsible for 8 shows, each with inviting and organizing a different group, that change out at the church with approximately 70 paintings a show.
With the Littleton Fine Arts Guild, my paintings have appeared in shows at the Depot Art Gallery, Smokin Fins Restaurant in Littleton, Smokin Fins Restaurant in Arvada, Nixon’s Coffee House, VITA, The Stanton Art Gallery, the Arapahoe County Justice Center, the Plains Conservation Center, Bemis Library, Arapahoe Community College Venues, Lone Tree Recreation Center and other outdoor shows such as Bega Park during Western Welcome Week.
In the Littleton Fine Arts Guild, I am Member-at-Large serving on the Board, Co- Chairperson for the Holiday Boutique, and Chairperson for one of the Pop Up Shows in 2024.
