Title or Location: "Blackwater Falls After The Rains"
My family has been vacationing in the Canaan Valley region of West Virginia since the 1990's. The favorite attraction of ours is the Blackwater Falls located in Blackwater Falls State Park. As the seasons change, and the weather changes, the falls change, It may range from a trickle, to a medium flow, to a ranging torrent as illustrated in my drawing. The raging torrent is my favorite and usually follows after a day of constant rain. This is a colored pencil drawing from one of my favorite vanta

Title or Location: Enchanted Loupe
This piece was created after a representative from St Vincent de Paul contacted me asking if I?d like to donate to their annual fundraiser. I chose this with the idea of possibilities that are presented when volunteering your time as does this charity. The butterflies represent freedom with encouragement as the glass is a beginning for flight

This is my granddaughter who plays the oboe in the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony. She's about to leave in a couple of weeks to study music (oboe) at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Here she was playing a piece of music in her mind before playing it on the oboe. She was a delight to paint.

Title or Location: Her Charming Glade
Her charming Glade was created solely based on the image of this wonderful woman searching for love. The elements of this three dimensional piece, subject, background and floral foreground, all came from different sources. Each piece is hand, cut, and layered to create three-dimensional depth and realism. She is looking for magic, so I found an ethereal background that looked as if magic could be found. I pictured a Glade with a beautiful garden where she feels loved. The piece is meant to insp

Title or Location: Through the coral reef
This piece was created while attending an art retreat by Milan Art Institute in Sarasota, Florida. The theme of the retreat was beneath the surface. I combined two images to add the mermaid in the background of the turtle image, creating a unique source. This painting combines collage, acrylic ink, spray paint, acrylic paint and is finished off with oil paint to encompass texture and vibrancy. As a New Englander I love being on or around the water. This piece brought out my passion for sea life

Title or Location: Andover Minnesota
This pop of spring is created on 6x6 ceramic tile, mounted on glass and inserted in a 8x8 shadow box. I am a fluid, acrylic artist. The background was created by transferring a ?pour? with the main subject painted with fluid acrylics using a plastic spoon. Those spoons aren?t just for takeout. Embellishments are my touch of whimsy.

Title or Location: Bournville Rest house in winter
I took up oil painting after retiring from the the NHS. Bournville looks stunning on a snowy day when the sun is shining. I worked this from a photo I took when the light was perfect. The colours of snow are magical. It is never white. The perspective on the Rest house is quite challenging!
