I paint with my feelings and emotions.
I love art because it allows me personal expression and growth, and it is a vechicle in which to celebrate "mind-full living."

Art provides a way to record life, my life. I enjoy looking at art and I am often inspired by the creativity in others. Creating pulls me into an "emotional" space where I run from the rational.

Subjects:
Landscapes and Special Places
Favorite Moments and Parts of My Life
Commissions
Pets

ART SPACE is a "solo recording artful living" experience. I bring to my work an appreciation of what I have experienced and the environment of each place I have been that inspires me. I create in order to share my own "personal translation." I experiment in all media but I favor pastels and oils for their immediacy and blending characteristics.

Background:
Assoc. in Liberal Arts
BS in Communications
Commercial Art Study

NC/SC ART Instruction Workshops: Andrew Braitman, Connie Winters, Joe Fettingis, Alex Clark, Greg Barnes, Karen Chambers, Evie Henderson, Ron Walters, Manual Kennedy.

Art probably had me in kindergarten. In first grade I took to art and my teacher labeled me "an artist." I won my first ribbon in 4th grade for a Pooh and Tigger rendition, but it was not until after college that I seriously studied under local and nationally recognized painters and enrolled in numerous workshops. It was then I was awarded the opportunity to illustrate for LTE, Inc. and publish my work into a book entitled "It's Potty Time," now in its 3rd printing. What followed was Julia Cameron's book, "The Artist's Way," which was instrumental in pulling me back into a life filled with creating, away from a 9 to 5 corporate marketing JOB.

I have been influenced by my pedestrian travels, living abroad and by my native North Carolinian roots. Currently, I spend most of my time between the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina, Charlotte, and the coastal waters of Folly Beach, South Carolina.

In 2006, Blue Palms was selected in the 17th Annual Juried Exhibition in Rock Hill, SC.
