As a child, I often saw images in shadows, folds of fabric and clouds. This evolved into a recognized talent for drawing and painting that was nurtured throughout my childhood in Michigan, earning acknowledgements and awards.
Early on, I earned an Associate of Arts degree in Graphic Arts, and later an Associate of Science degree in Radiologic Technology. I passed a state and national board exam to get my license in Radiologic Technology, along with licenses in Fluoroscopy, Mammography and Computed Tomography. Until my recent retirement, I worked at a hospital scanning away. Again, it is the images. So here I am, technical and artistic, logical and abstract, pursuing my passion of creating artwork.
Acrylic painting and drawing are my favorite mediums right now. Also, I find mixed media interesting, such as incorporating x-ray images into artwork at times. Art is a subject that has a growth line; the more you do, the better you get. Art is also emotional for me, as it probably is for many artists. Sometimes a block develops, similar to a writer’s block. To continue to push forward past that block is my challenge. Sometimes we must do what we fear the most, and then success usually follows.
