| I am enjoying the freedom of time that retirement offers and making art in a variety of mediums that intrigue me. I work in pastels, oils and use polymer clay as a diversion.
I was educated in the 60's in the northeast and directed to be 'free and loose' with my art, and for years floundered with abstract expressionism as my model. Teaching art for 30 years required me to become knowledgeable in a multitude of mediums. I focused my teaching on helping the individual student find the best way to personally express him/herself. I produced a number of highly successful artists and my success as a teacher was their success as a creative artist.
In retirement, I finally have the opportunity to pursue my own art. I choose to work in pastels and oils. I photograph my subject matter and then paint realistic interpretations of the images.
I don't know where my art will go, but I do know that I am doing what I need to be doing at this time.
