Poet Sara Teasdale begins her 1917 poem, “Barter” with “Life has loveliness to sell, All beautiful and splendid things, Blue waves whitened on a cliff, Soaring fire that sways and sings, And children’s faces looking up, Holding wonder like a cup.”

 

Living along the Connecticut shoreline inspires me to create lovely art to sell. My work resonates with all New England’s splendor from crashing waves along the beach, to the squawking seabirds taking flight, to my serene backyard nurturing crab apple trees and lush flower gardens.

 

I hold wonder like a cup capturing the beauty I saw as a small child in a little Connecticut town during the 1960s and 70s. This is where my journey into art began. But, I don’t remember when I first began to draw and paint as it seemed to be something I did naturally. Art was as natural to me as running around the yard barefooted.

 

My journey into art is far from over, and it is always evolving and changing.
