AM I THERE YET? THATS ME TALKING TO MYSELF FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS...I BEGAN MY PAINTING CAREER WITH A SHOP IN SCOTTSDALE ARIZONA, FINDING, PAINTING , AND DISTRESSING OLD UNUSUAL FURNITURE..TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT..I NOW HAVE A SMALL SHOP IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA.
BUT...WAS I THERE YET? NO. I WANTED TO LEARN TO EMBELLISH THE FURNITURE..SO I NEEDED TO START SMALL..LEARNING ABOUT STAMPS, EMBOSSING..WATERCOLORS..WHAT MANY ARTISTS LEARN YEARS EARLIER, BUT I WAS NEVER INTERESTED...NOW...I WANTED TO GET THERE..FAST.
WHILE LEARNING ALL THESE TECHNIQUES I FOUND I WANTED TO DO MORE THEN JUST EMBELLISH FURNITURE..I ENJOYED THE GELS, THE TEXTURE GELS...THE RESIN..ALTERING JUST ABOUT ANYTHING....AND DECIDED TO PERSUE THIS ALTERED ART AVENUE...WITH BOOKS, BOXES, CANVAS, AND WOOD.
SO HERE I AM. IN SANTE FE, N.M. WHERE CREATIVE IDEAS FLOW EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYTHING...I HAVE A BOOK OF IDEAS TO COME HOME WITH..AND..EXPERIMENTS TO TRY...SO KEEP POSTED..AND LETS SEE JUST WHAT I CAN CREATE ON MY OWN...AND IF IN FACT......I AM THERE YET!
