When did you realize you loved art and wanted to be ‘an artist’<br />
Hmmm... for me, these are two different questions. I realized I<br />
had a passion for art when I was 25 and a girlfriend and I backpacked<br />
around the world for a year (to our mothers’ dismay). We<br />
met up with an artist friend in Germany named Scott Fraser. (If<br />
you aren’t familiar with his master work in contemporary realism,<br />
you need to stop reading right now and google Scott Fraser art.<br />
You will be blown away!) Anyway, he very kindly shared his vast<br />
art and art history knowledge with us as we visited museums in<br />
Italy and Greece. His amazing insights and knowledge, reeled me<br />
in and I’ve been hooked on art ever since!<br />
I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I’d be a selling artist! It wasn’t even on my radar until about<br />
eight years ago. However, to have the privilege of people actually wanting to buy my paintings to hang in<br />
their homes is such an incredible honor. So, it’s not so much that I wanted to be an artist. It’s that wonderful<br />
people and the universe gifted me to be able to love it and make a living doing it. Thank you!<br />
P.S. I believe we are ALL born artists! It’s just that some of practice it more often than others.<br />
Who has been the greatest influence from your past to mentor you to this career<br />
Nature is my greatest influence. You just can’t beat it. I never formally studied art, so I don’t have academic<br />
mentors. However, I have had numerous talented artists take me under their wing and guide me,<br />
allowing this journey as an artist to not be quite so bumpy.<br />
Grand Junction, Colorado, where I live and work, has a very large, talented and incredibly kind artist<br />
population. I am so fortunate to live where other artists openly and willingly share information,<br />
techniques, resources and support.<br />
Who is your mentor today, or another artist you admire and why<br />
My mentor is always the ultimate Creator.<br />
There are so many artists I admire and salivate over their work including Cathy Hegman, Diana Woods,<br />
Mary Mansfield, Barbara Gilhooly, Don Quade and Kevin Box to name a few. Each of these artists’ work<br />
speaks to me in different ways, each offering pure enjoyment.<br />
What is your favorite surface to paint on Describe it if you make it yourself.<br />
There is the nicest guy here in Grand Junction who is a talented carpenter and disabled veteran. He<br />
custom makes gorgeous wooden cradled boards for me. They’re so pretty and smooth that I sometimes<br />
feel bad covering them up! I also like Fredrix Pro Deluxe 2.25” gallery wrapped canvas when I desire a<br />
rougher surface.<br />
Do you have a favorite color palette<br />
Napthol red is a my standard. I begin each creation with a Napthol Red underpainting and most of my<br />
paintings are on the warm spectrum of color. However, I find that more and more I am leaning towards<br />
cool colors. It really depends on whether I’m doing abstract or expressionistic work.<br />
