From a young age I had always wanted to paint, constantly sketching whatever was in front of me. But it was the figure that interested me most. It was only after I came to the States with two kids tucked under my arms that I was able to realise a dream that seemed impossible. I would visit the local art league where I was encouraged by various artists to take painting seriously. Thanks to their help I found a very satisfying 30 year (so far) career which included signing with various publishers who, in turn, distributed my work to galleries and cruise ships around the world, thereby solidifying a reputation I hardly expected to achieve. Now, I cannot imagine a day without the comfort of my easel.
I am now my own distributor, and loving it, thanks to Fine Art America, Etsy and my own website, thewonderofchildren.com
