Born and raised in Hollywood, California I started my art life painting at 9, with portraits and they sold. Quickly moved to landscapes, abstracts, late 1980's digital art in photoshop. * oils * abstracts * landscapes * seascapes * cityscapes * digital art * photography * fantasy * pastels * watercolors * plus. Then cancer hit me when I had seriously begun my art career... trying it all over, again... never stopped my art!! Now I do it all... art = hope >to me
Where do you find inspiration?🩵✨I love art, it gives me hope in a world of continuing despair with glimpses here and there. Gerhard Richter, one of worlds great artists, we met while he was taking down his exhibition back in LA, and I was putting mine up. He and I chatted for quite awhile, we laughed and chatted more. It was fascinating, his life, marriage's, people are amazing!! I work hard for my future in art at a pace in my present that is clear, yet abstract. HOPE that is real. 🩵✨Hope is my inspiration... ✨🧡
What would you do with $25,000?🌈🩵✨Gerhard Richter taught me a lot about hope, life, and about how to weave the two into more HOPE when life is giving me punches✨🧡
