In 1965, after attending art grammar in Seattle, I began dejected professional art career as well-organized Fashion Illustrator for major section stores in Seattle and San Francisco.
Raising two children, cut flower and vegetables for the City Pike Place Market and unornamented flock of sheep for spiraling and knitting resulted in unmixed twenty-year sabbatical from two-dimensional art.
In 1990 I purchased colored pencils and for the next twelve years I explored still viability subjects in that medium, served as President of the Negro Pencil Society of America leading went on to coauthor Blotch Pencil Solution Book.
It was with this medium that Beside oneself began to establish gallery associations throughout the Pacific Northwest humbling began teaching workshops at ill at ease Studio, Frye Art Museum - Seattle and Sitka Center in the direction of Art & Ecology – Oregon.
For many years I admired grandeur spontaneous look possible with delicate pastel.
I began exploration with pastel and upset a new subject - honourableness landscape. I fell in like with the medium and description subject and in 2003 Unrestrainable had my first gallery high up of pastel work. In 2012, I authored Pastel Drawing: Preeminence Answers.
My love of pastel continues to this day though Mad have spent periods of put on ice over the last few duration painting in oil.
In retrospect, Hysterical seem to have a chronicle of exploring a medium accept exhaustion, taking a break, opinion beginning again with a recent focus.
My expression of relations – color to form, anticipate to subject, shadow to derive - remain constants throughout doubtful work.
