I soon discovered I had no ability as a musician and only limited ability as a chef, so I used the one left by my two Grandparents: painting. I have discovered that I HAVE to paint. It is my life. When someone adds my work to their life, mine sings! I began painting with my Grandmother when I was very little. At first it was always horses. My Grandfather would add a scene around my horses. I began painting in earnest after studying with three professionals: Veva Porter, Lida Giambastiani, and John Gregorich. I studied non-objective painting with Lida, printmaking and all the basic technical skills needed by a professional with Veva, and applied arts with John. They each shaped my skills, my eye, and my joy in creating a visual image.</p> <p>Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.</p>
