My personal story: I thank my lucky stars that I was able to attend the University of Iowa where I encountered instructors in art, religion, and even Rhetoric with microscopic questions aimed in and telescopic lessons aimed out. Here I found doors to the universe of perception and creative possibility that creaked and even sometimes crashed open. With fits and starts and varying degrees of intensity since that four-year brief launching, I have been on a sine wave of an artist’s life.
In my senior year of college, I stepped into the commitment of marriage and after four years even enthusiastically added child-raising to my daily routine. I was surrounded in my home state of lush black fertile earth, long highways, and small towns. The row upon row of July corn silk tassels only served to draw my eye to the horizon line where the vastness of the evening ebony offered a place for pleasurable visual and emotional connection. The crazy university art thinkers that had dissipated into a fade on the eastern horizon were replaced by small specialized groups of art school expatriates, area artists, art organization staff, area museum staff, visiting lecturers, and a variety of art enthusiasts. Together we created bases of operation and enactment: organizing drawing groups, visiting and exhibiting in galleries, taking and instructing classes, creating projects, attending conferences, leading art organizations, and building art businesses.
When I moved to St Paul MN in 2004 my art administrative experiencd gained me the position of director of Art-A-Whirl in NE Minneapolis. This 1-year experience introduced me to so many gifted artists, many who remain my friends. I also joined a weekly life drawing co-operative and then in 2021 added a studio in St Paul.
All the while my artwork exhibits an emphasis on line, manipulation of proportion, and volume. I continue to exhibit my artwork throughout the US and have received recognition and respect.
