My informal art education began by observing my father’s line drawings demonstrating the principles of perspective. My more formal art education began in JHS when my artistic potential was recognized, and I was placed in what was referred to as a “special art” class.

How fortunate to have attended public school at a time when art and music classes were not considered time consuming “extras” but part of a well- rounded curriculum.  Subsequently, I attended the High School of Music and Art and was a Fine Arts major at Hunter College.

After retiring from my “day jobs” as an educator/administrator, college adjunct, and office holder in various professional organizations I finally had the time to pursue interests which had been “on the back burner”.

I take drawing and watercolor classes on a regular basis—balancing the discipline of portrait and figure drawing classes, with the more spontaneous nature of watercolor painting. And, more recently I have expanded my artistic expression to include photography.

Many of my drawings, paintings and photos have been included in juried, online exhibits from the Flager County Art League, the Marin Society of Artists, the Rhode Island Watercolor Society, the Red Bluff Art Gallery and the San Fernando Valley Arts and Cultural Center.

As I refine my drawing and painting techniques, I am mindful that “art” is a process; a “masterpiece” is not the result of a first effort—but just as in writing, there is always a first draft with opportunities to revise. Patience!
