Don’t we all need some persistent sunshine and brightness in our lives? I’ve been in a dark place lately, and I suppose a lot of others have been too. Sometimes it’s absolutely right and necessary to contemplate the darkness but at the end of it one needs to come back into the light. This painting is my bright daylight after a week of dark musings. I hope you like it and thanks for looking.

I've been painting since I was nine years old when my mother put a brush in my hand and said, "This is how you do it." I must have been a good listener. My career as a a painter has come in waves, however. It has taken me a lifetime, but I am now a full-time painter. A few years ago I challenged myself to do a painting a day; hence, the eye paintings. I recently lost my husband of 47 years. As part of my bereavement, I visited my artist/sister, KC Pollak, in Colorado. We spent nearly all day for 10 days in her art cabin making alcohol ink paintings. What a joyful, healing time! And I found a new love and passion. Now I live my work and love my life even more.
