“Feet I need you not, for I have wings to fly. “ Frida Kahlo My watercolors are offered to captivate, excite, and dazzle viewers . For me, taking risks is part of my journey, by mixing inks, gouache or other water media to guide, lead and direct my paintings to completion. Solo shows, as well as participation in outside festival shows and teaching have given me tremendous opportunities to interact with viewers of my work. I am currently President of Clayton Visual Arts, a non-profit volunteer art organization which brings art to Clayton NC. I enjoy membership in the North Carolina Watercolor Society, Visual Art Exchange in Raleigh, Beaufort Historical Association and Johnston County Arts Council. Both Johnston County Medical Center in Clayton NC and Johnston Memorial Hospital in Smithfield, NC. exhibit a permanent collection of my work as well as South Bank in New Bern. My work has been purchased by art collectors and those for whom art is a delight. I Have been fortunate to have received numerous awards and have enjoyed solo as well as group shows throughout NC. Teaching for me remains an inspiration, allowing students and experienced artists as well to benefit from renewed and shared experiences. On June 2, 2012, I will be participating in the Millstock Art and Music Festival in downtown Clayton. Please stop by and see me. I currently have work at Right Angles Art Gallery in Clayton, Eye of the Eagle in Clayton and Handscapes in Beaufort NC. My work may be seen in my home studio by appointment . |
