I started painting in retirement. I paint with oil or colored pencil and draw with ink, Copic markers, and graphite. For my images of people, I’m most interested in capturing them when they are busy with their own thoughts or activities and not posing. The horticultural images are from my garden. I produce new colored-pencil pieces annually for the American Hosta Society and its local chapters and create hosta coloring pages for their members. I’ve won awards from Bryn Du and Worthington Area Art League and have been invited to participate in several shows at the McConnell Art Center.
