Do You Think She's Gone?

Artist's Statement

I'm at a loss for a Manifesto.  Only in retirement, have I come back to do what I hoped to be when I grew up.  My father wept when I took an art scholarship fearing I would starve.  And he was right.  I would have.  I have used the skills learned, however, in some way, every day of my adult life at home and while working in a totally different field.  I love having time now to respond to what I see and read.  If the art I do makes you smile, cock your head and think, makes you laugh, appreciate the earth, the incredible talent that abounds around us… then, maybe, I might be getting close to what I wanted to be when I grew up.
