Pen & Ink and Colored
Pencil Drawings
Artist's Statement:
The principal
thing in art as in life is to learn to see things as they really are, and
not as man perceives them to be.
I am
primarily a pen and ink artist who does commissions of homes, historical
sites and pets. I also work in colored pencil and graphite.
After
getting all our children in school, I ventured back to get my degree in
Commercial Art and Advertising Design. However, at the same time, I fell in
love with pen and ink. After working at newspapers and a screen printer’s
for a time, I decided to free lance as a pen and ink artist. I love
restoring old homes on paper for someone to keep or give away for their
memories. I also carry local postcards in pen and ink. I hand color some
of these also. I do painted canvas for needlepoint work, punch needle, or
rug hooking.
My studio
has perennial gardens off the front porch, with an herb garden under the
gallery window and in pots on the front studio porch.
