ARTIST STATEMENT AND RESUME
"My work is mostly representational, with an authentic sense of place using dry pastel, oil paint, oilbar and oil pastel. I am enjoying
experimenting with oil pastels, particularly the layering and texture aspect. Painting with other artists and teaching pastels is helping
me to understand the complexity and craft of painting."
I was born in Rugby, England. As a newlywed I moved to New Zealand in 1956 with my glaciologist husband where I taught High School art then started a family. The next stop was Columbus, Ohio. We currently live on Bainbridge Island where I teach and paint with pastels and oils. Having been lucky enough to travel extensively, from Antarctica to warmer climes and I prefer to paint 'en plein air' when the weather co-operates but I do also enjoy painting portraits.
