# About me

I'll start by saying that I'm not one to stick to a single form of art. I have dabbled in many mediums but above all, I just love looking at intriguing, beautiful and inspiring things, whether it be my creations---of which I am often surprised and slightly self-conscious about---or nature, which offers an endless supply of inspiration, or others' art, which is inevitably more interesting than mine.
I love gleaning inspiration from other artists and work well when immersing myself in an artistic community.
My various experimentations with mediums and art forms include:
Watercolor, colored pencil, pen & ink, acrylic, pastel, charcoal, found objects, photography, collage, ceramic clay pottery and sculptures, bronze, china paints on blank tile, mural painting, interior design, textile arts---including taking raw fleece/fiber and carding, spinning, knitting, felting, etc, and jewelry making.
Where art is concerned, I am mostly self-educated but have taken classes at Southern Oregon Community College including basic design, art history, watercolor courses, sculpture and pottery courses, bronze casting and was the studio assistant in the 3-D studio for several terms.
I am not a terribly prolific artist compared with some others. My life and job seem to interfere with the time I have to create. (Imagine that!) I would do best to set aside time--- preferably spent with other artists in a studio or classroom environment.
So thank you, my fellow artists, for being associates in my pseudo-studio. I hope you enjoy looking at my art, and comments and critiques are always welcome. And if you have art that you want me to see, just leave me a comment and I'll take a look!
