Peel the Tape Studio

Bio
I am a photographer, mixed media artist and writer who loves art, gardening and photography.

As a small child I grew up on my great uncle’s farm here in Harrison County, West Virginia. I was surrounded by large vegetable gardens, dirt under my fingernails, and so many rocks that there was the start of rock walls here and there across the soft green rolling hills and wonderful trees.
My love for Mother Nature and the outdoors comes naturally, as my dad studied to be a forest ranger and his study books fascinated me. My uncle loved taking pictures of flowers more than people. Another uncle had a natural talent for drawing. Then my sweet aunt taught me how to forage and bring nature into the house with gathered nuts, pinecones, twigs, wildflowers, and rocks.

I loved art class in high school (Lumberport High School) and turned our home room class into the Yellow Submarine and helped turn the Clarksburg YMCA into Flower Power one month. I took oil painting class in Shinnston and then on to Frames N Things under the instruction of Bob Onacre. In 1978 I had a one-man, two-week, art show in the original and beautiful Clarksburg Library now called the Waldomore.

In 1979 I moved to Phoenix, AZ which I called “surface of the sun” and so very different from my beautiful green hills and mountains of West Virginia. There I took an Old Master’s Class at Phoenix Art Museum and then several desert landscaping oil painting classes in Glendale, AZ.
But as life often does, work demands grew and all my creative energy went into my marketing job for fortune 500 company in five different states throughout the west. This experience helped me to be a “creative visionary” and realize many successful ideas.

Now I am here reinventing myself again. Coming back to “Everything old to me is new again” has filled me with so much joy and gratitude.


Watercolor and Mixed Media

Bio
I am a native of Clarksburg, WV. A graduate of Fairmont State University.

I received recognition for creative writing as well as several regional and state awards for my paintings.

I am a past President, current Signature member of the West Virginia Watercolor Society and a Tamarack Juried Artist.

I find that “Why Not?” and “What If?” are often the beginning strokes of some very rewarding creative adventures and try to develop skills to bring my ideas to life.
In this way, I have discovered paper crafting, card making, paper beading, sculpting, writing “word paintings”, and many other means of expression.

I enjoy the creative process that allows me to express my thoughts in a positive way. I find my most successful paintings are those that connect with the viewer on an emotional or humorous level.

I try to keep my creative flow going by doing something each day that feeds my imagination. When I get an idea for a painting, I keep a 4×6 journal to hold photographs on one page and write out my idea on the facing page. This way, I always have a project started that I can develop further while I’m “waiting for paint to dry”!

I hope you enjoy this artwork as much as I have enjoyed creating it!
