A number of years ago my husband and I traveled to the island of Maui in the state of Hawaii. What a beautiful location, the Pacific Ocean all around, varying in shades of greens, purples and the blue the color of my mother's eyes, very deep blue. Enchanting place.
We took a very famous road, a drive on the road to Hana. These were the most tropical topical of surroundings, full of wild flowers and foliage. And it was, unfortunately, nauseating! I suffer a lousy malady, have all of my life, called car sickness. Twisting and turning roads do me in. Before I began suffering from this lousy syndrome, however, I was fortunate enough to spot a wild hibiscus growing on the side of the road. I slipped, literally, over to it to inspect it -- the ground was all muddy. I found it to be a beautiful site, though, and here I present it to you. All palate knife, all the time, when it comes to oils, so you can imagine that this one took quite a while to finish!

Inspired by J.M.W. Turner, Georgia O'Keefe, Massimo Cruciani, Edgar Degas and many others, I am pleased to be an artist painting in oils (palette knife and brush), soft pastels, paintings on glass and now watercolors. My landscapes are driven by my travel memories. My flowers are inspired by the actual thing -- I once had a pressed and dried flower business. And my skies -- my hero is Turner. What more can I say? My motto: "Life is short, use color!" I hope you enjoy my show.
