Artist's Statement:

"When I first became interested in painting, I had no idea how much it would change my life.  Everything looks so different when you look at it with a painter's eyes.  You appreciate colors and shapes and can hardly wait to try and capture them on paper.  The learning is a long and sometimes frustrating road, but the payoff is incredible.  You forget your problems, and your aches and pains, and sometimes even dinner.  It is a wonderful hobby that you can enjoy as long as you can hold a pencil.  I recently lost a dear friend who painted and showed until she was 95 years old.  She was a great inspiration to me.  Winston Churchill said, 'Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely, light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end or almost to the end of the day.'  I could never have expressed it as well."

This is a Live Event Item.
