It's My Life

As an artist I express my life visually. My images illustrate emotions, experiences, views, and my stories. The viewer gets a sense of my personality, where I've been, what I've done, and what I like...so far.

I consider myself a professional student, and love learning. Though the years I've had some excellent teachers who taught me to love subjects in which I had no interest. Some have inspired me to reach further than I thought I could. My art teachers, my history teachers, and even a math teacher had faith in my ability when I had little. This painting is dedicated to them.

 In my childhood, my father moved us around so often I would put down roots only to be uprooted again--forced to leave good friends. Making new friends is fun; however, reunions with old friends and places I've lived is particularly meaningful and sweet--especially wearing red shoes.

She was the best childhood friend anyone could have.  We spent as much time together as our parents would allow, and that was daily.  We were in school together, and over the summer we played school. We went to trampolines, the roller rink, and the swimming pool--even on rainy days. We danced to the Locomotion and Big Girls Don't Cry. We were cool. Best friends.

When someone asks, "how did you meet your husband?" They are shocked to hear my answer. We met in a bar. There are lots of clichés and derogatory connotations around singles bars; meat markets, bar flies, pick-up joints, etc. This painting is about everyone's experiences in a bar. Good, bad, and marriage.

As a Pisces I'm naturally drawn to water. Many times I've been at my favorite place - standing at the ocean's edge looking out--thinking about what is, remembering what was, and what may have been. Dreaming of what is yet to come...
