ARTIST STATEMENT AND BIO:
Art has been a "forever friend" if you know what I mean. Even when you would like to permanently walk away from it, thankfully it's not going to happen.
From a very young age I was drawing, drawing, drawing. I remember as a kindergartner hoping each day I'd get to paint at the easel. Well, now that does happen -not easily(pun intended) but still ultimately very satisfying, perhaps because I'm doing what I've been designed to do.
After college and taking various classes in painting, I finally found a place where representational art was taught. When I first walked into Paul Ingbretson's studio for classical drawing and painting I instantly knew this was the kind of art education for which I had been longing. I wanted to learn the craft of art.
Art studies with Paul Ingbretson's at his studio for Classical for Drawing and Painting in MA and NH.

Exploring various techniques, while working primarily in oil and pastel, keep my portfolio quite varied. Though most subjects are of interest the figure and portrait remain favorites.
