General Info
I have been drawing/painting for over 55 years now . My art medium adventures chronologically (to this stage), began with crayon, and migrated to Pencil, Tempera, Watercolor, Fluorescent water color , permanent marker ,oil pastels, "block" printing, pastels, oils and acrylics.
I have won awards for my Pastel Works (Pastel Society of the West Coast, Sierra Pastel Society, Artist Magazine, Shelter Cove Plein Air, and others) and I've sold quite a few which reside either in this hemisphere or another.
I make my own sanded pastel paper (toned neutral grey) up to 26" x 40"...it has a nice tooth to it. I've made a few pastels as well- a messy undertaking that can produce unique colors. Save your small pieces and when you have enough, grind them up, add a drop or two of water and make your own.
Studio Closed
I'd like to say a fond farewell to all who have come through as visitors and students over the last 20+ years. It's very true what is said about learning something: If you really want to learn you must teach. No truer words spoken. I've seen a lot of change around me in the Folsom Foothills area, and also have watched so many students gain a keen understanding of the pastel medium...keep on pastelling!!
So- Thank you all, it's been a gas! My vision has been widened by those who have spent time in my classes.
