There is nothing cliche about these birds - you capture them inside your vision and outside our boxes. Each has it's story, yet not one subtracts from the other. No bird is fighting for your attention. Each waits patiently perched, ready to share. I feel the breeze in one; the other, the spray of lake water off the shore. I feel the elements they are in.
I am a retired theatre geek living in Seattle, WA. My theatre career was a decade long love affair ending with my receiving a BFA in Theatre Design and Technology From the University Of South Dakota. My training in theatre prepared me for my current work life, painting commissions for private/commercial collections and running my own cottage industry.
Over the past 11 years my commissions have included murals, portraits, wildlife art, and delightful pet portraits.
Five years ago I started a cottage industry of making decorative bird print plaques from original paintings, and selling them in locally owned stores around the country.
In 2012 I was awarded the City Artist Project Grant for my anti-bullying art series from the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs and Arts Commission.
