I enjoy the pursuit of watercolor painting, especially the use of color and detail in subjects of nature; I also enjoy trying to capture human nature in paintings of children and adults. I have experimented with a series of Native American paintings, which have been popular. I have also created a sampler series of florals which are somewhat different from the ordinary floral presentation. Another style of painting that I enjoy is imarginationa style wherein I leave a small margin of white paper around sections of color. Background: I have a B.A. degree in sociology from Northwestern University and an M.A. degree in Guidance & Counseling from Northeastern Illinois University. I was involved in education in Glenview, IL and Bangor, MI for 27 years, until retirement in 1998. Art activities have always been important to me, and Ive spent years working in needlepoint, knitting, crewel work, and the design of note cards and Christmas cards. My watercolor experience began with a class at Evergreen Commons Senior Center, and I enjoy networking with other watercolor artists. I am a member of Holland Friends of Art, the Holland Area Arts Council, the Muskegon Museum of Art, and Michigan Water Color Society. I take advantage of watercolor classes and workshops when I have the opportunity. Local Activities: I am on the Board of the Womans Literary Club in Holland, MI for 20072008; a member of Chapter DF, P.E.O. Sisterhood; enjoy daily swimming at the Holland Aquatic Center; volunteer for Hospice of Holland, Inc.; and enjoy golf, needlepoint, and reading. My husband is retired, and actively helps me with my website. We have one son and daughterinlaw living in Chandler, Arizona, with our new granddaughter Maya.
