My first recollection of doing any type of art was the summer I spent with my grandmother after third grade. It was amazing how many ‘Story Book’ doll clothes I designed and produced in a three week period. I later designed and made many of my own clothes through high school.

As the years passed my love of color and creating never waned. Doodling on office notepads was the closest I came to doing any kind of art. Although a full time career, family and exchange students seemed to fill every minute, I managed to take a few decorative art and ceramic workshops. After I retired I took art classes at Clatsop Community College in drawing and oil. Other workshops in Washington and Oregon included watercolor, acrylic, drawing, colored pencil and lino-cut.

Why do I paint? For me painting is the process not the end product. Art is my meditation - the calming point in my life. A pencil or brush in hand takes me to those far away places in my inner soul where only I can go.

Enhancing, strengthening, and promoting the arts in Greater Astoria.
