ARTIST BIO - 2012
At 46, I realized that I was not happy in the corporate world and made some major life changes. My spiritual practice of Zen Buddhism and Yoga led me to an awakened state for a short period. My painting ventures are a way for me to revisit that state. My art is a journey of self-discovery and self-expression. Painting is the process by which I interpret the world that is in a non-permanent state. I deem myself as an outsider-artist as I have little formal training. I believe that a finished piece of art carries the energy of the artist. Upon someone viewing this art, that energy manifests itself into an emotional state. If that state is, positive then I accomplished my task and may sell a piece of art; however, if the art elicits a negative reaction then I have also reached my goal. As I believe that, everyone should have the opportunity to cherish art as much as I do. I sell my art on a sliding scale when possible for those who may love the piece but are financially limited. I would rather have someone love my art and display it rather than just collect it for its potential value.

This portfolio is based on my blind contour and wrong hand series that I have done throughout 2012. Most of the works are mixed-media on paper. Two sized are used 11 x 14 inches and 12 x 12 inches. I do not really believe in prints so in most cases I only sell originally work. However, if some art lover wants a piece that I have previously sold I could create a print for them.

MOST OF THESE PAINTINGS ARE EITHER WATERCOLOUR ON PAPER 11 X 14 INCHES (FRAMED ) or ACRYLIC ON CANVAS 5 X 7 INCHES
Like most of my art I usually only sell originals but if some art lover really wants a piece I can create a print for that person.
