Painting is an act of love for me. Came to the medium after 60 when my daughter gifted me a set of acrylic paints and challenged me to stop talking about it and just do it. Signed up for a class at TP municipal building with Alice Sims, one of the artists featured on this site, shortly thereafter to learn
Art has been part of my life since childhood. As I learned to paint, I quickly developed an interest in human form, and have painted mostly portraits ever since. My favorite mediums are oil on canvas, charcoal and pastel on paper. I use multiple photographs as my model, so in-person sitting/posing is optional. Feel free to get in touch
