Going public with my paintings


I first started painting when I was a child. Cute stuff like a paint by numbers of a stallion or something like that. My parents encouraged me and gave me the opportunity learn with lessons as well as touring museums. 
  Classes at our local Art Museum in Neenah were allot of fun and kept us busy during the summer.  I know I have a few pieces of "art" in my basement from that era.  In school I took art as much as I could. Knowing I had to apply this love to my working life I decided to be an Interior Designer and finished with a major in Industrial Design.  
Renderings of home interiors and new product set designs have been my "art" for my working career. Painting for fun was put on the back burner. Over the last few years I've taken more classes with a local artist I feel much more confident about showing my work. 
So here goes. Hope you enjoy!

Very inspirational water color. I love your palette of color. The last two works of art are peaceful and dreamy.

Nice layout and colors. Would have like to have paintings as main theme - they are worth it. Stefanie

Wow! Way nicer than the average weed commissioner could do, but then you have always been a cut above...
Best,
