Spring of Hope

Oil on Canvas
30" x 40"

Artist Statement: This is a painting I did early spring after receiving my covid vaccine. I had hope that I once more would be able to visit and see friends and go to church and sit in the sanctuary. Spring to me is such a hopeful time especially after a winter with this pandemic and all the suffering it has brought. The bloom of flowers, the remembrance of the past with the dark shadows, the winding paths all give hope to what God has before us. I trust this hope will continue to guide us no matter what the future may hold.

Bio: I have always been interested in art but didn’t start painting until 1995 while living in Clayton, NC where I begin taking art classes.

I started with drawing and colored pencil and moved to watercolor. I tried pastels, and acrylics, but finally settled on water-soluble oils.

I painted for over 20 years with a wonderful group of ladies, all older, who encouraged and critiqued my work until their age no longer permitted us to paint together. What a gift they all were to me.

I have exhibited in many different locations in the Clayton, Raleigh and Wilmington, NC area.

I am married, have two adult children, a son in law, and a wonderful granddaughter all who support and encourage me as an artist.
