My Paintings
What drives my art…
I often say I am living my “unexpected life,” and my art has become an extension of that idea. I rediscovered painting in my fifties, after a difficult transition in my life, much the same I found writing after another, even more difficult one. I am the author of “The Alchemy of Loss: A Young Widow’s Transformation” a memoir about my life as a young widow with children and a novel written along a similar theme. For me, art and writing go hand in hand and feed both sides of my brain in a very cathartic sense. I paint intuitively and experimentally, drawn to acrylics for their vibrant colors which bring me an inordinate amount of joy. For me, painting is how I bring color into my life. Just as my words have provided healing to many, I love bringing color into others’ lives as well.
My Juicy Mint NFT collection is a group of Matisse-inspired shapes and colors algorithmically generated using two series of 45 shapes and one series of 50 colors to produce a variety of colorful works of art in 2048 × 2048 .png format.
I sell my art as NFTs too!
