I've just joined the Maine Art Gallery in Wiscasset, my home town. This painting is a watercolor of stargazer lilies on 300 lb. coldpress Arches paper. This is done in Windsor & Newton professional grade paints. It will be on exhibit, along with three other watercolors at the Maine Art Gallery's "World of Color" exhibit from July 2 through July 26, 2009. The opening reception will be held from 5-7p.m. on Thursday, July 2. I'm excited to be represented by a Maine gallery and I hope you can join me on the 2nd! Watch for more news - this is my first post and there will be more to come!
About Me
After earning a B.S. in Education from the University of Maine at Farmington, I earned a masters degree from the University of Southern Maine. My career as an educator spanned thirty-six years, which included classroom teaching, serving as a consultant in the Maine Department of Education, and directing the student teaching program at the University of Southern Maine.
I have always had an interest in art, and upon retiring, began painting and drawing in earnest. Studying with artist Polly Blythe Goss, I immersed myself in local classes and workshops with a renewed energy, dedicated to the refinement of my painting technique. I love the challenge of intricate pen-and-ink work, and the surprises that watercolor offers.
