I draw inspiration from nature, animals, and lifes beauty and challenges for my prints. Most of my prints are not realistic but playful a dose of my imagination and humor. My retirement from my nursing career gave me time to do some serious work on regaining my health and stir up some courage to start doing art full time. My studio is situated by water, forest and a bird sanctuary and my surroundings influence my prints. I have been an outdoor enthusiast all my life, and the majority of my art reflects my love of all creatures, big and small. By surrounding myself in natures beauty, I am inspired to create playful images; my prints are not realistic or “photo” like. Now that I am able to dedicate much of time to printmaking, I spend my days in the studio with my dog Phoebe, my self-declared assistant. With her company, I dedicate many hours to creating prints that represent mother natures beautiful creations and bits and pieces of life challenges and triumphs. My prints have been accepted to art exhibitions and contests domestic and internationally. I have been honored to receive awards for my prints throughout my art career.
