Artist Resume
Art is such a personal matter. Creativity speaks to each of us in its' own way and in its own time. I have always been creative, but the form has varied over the years. At heart I love textiles and the manipulation of fabrics, the design element fascinates me as does the use of color. Photography has also been a creative force in my life since I was quite young. A camera gave me a way of speaking without words. A useful tool for someone who was quite shy as a child and young adult. Drawing and painting entered my life much later after a career in industry as an Industrial Engineer and later a Corporate Executive in the field of Quality Assurance. These disciplines provided a strong work ethic and well as a need for attention to details. Vital in the fields that I chose for my working career and useful in this stage of my life as I strive to improve my artistic talents. The learning process is challenging and fascinating. I often feel like a sponge wanting to learn as much as possible and to then experiment with the tools and materials that are available. Carl Purcell, Lester B Lee and Thomas Schaller have been instrumental as mentors in my growth as an artist. The Utah Watercolor Society has provided ongoing education and an artistic community for support. The challenge is to continue to improve and to be able to create paintings that appeal to both myself and those who view my work.
