Pen & Ink and Colored Pencil Drawings
After getting all our children in school, I ventured back to get my degree in Commercial Art and Advertising Design. However, at the same time, I fell in love with pen and ink. After working at newspapers and a screen printer’s for a time, I decided to free lance as a pen and ink artist. I love restoring old homes on paper for someone to keep or give away for their memories. I also carry local postcards in pen and ink. I hand color some of these also. I do painted canvas for needlepoint work, punch needle, or rug hooking.
Artist Statement:
The principal thing in art as in life is to learn to see things as they really are, and not as man perceives them to be.
I am primarily a pen and ink artist who does commissions of homes, historical sites and pets. I also work in colored pencil and graphite. |
My studio has perennial gardens off the front porch, with an herb garden under the gallery window and in pots on the front studio porch.
