1. Are you an
artist/creative person/ art admirer?
I am an Artist. I create everyday and my art is strategically
random. Daily my creations are on canvas, online, or in my art journal.
2. How is art important
in people’s lives?
Its a way to see someone's expression of life and events, a
release or an amazement.
3. Do you have a
favorite artist?Why do you like him/her?
Hands down....Vincent Van Gogh.
4. What's your favorite
place to see art? Do you have a gallery/museum-going routine?
Cleveland Museum of Art is
the closest and beloved by me, but I include an art visit in every city or
state I am in.
5. Do you own any pieces
of art? If so, what are they?
My home is filled with
items I did myself and artwork of my children and some very close friends.
6. What’s your favorite
piece of work that you have created?
My favorite is a mixed media work from last year called "Two
Mermaids". I have been offered great loot for it but cannot bring myself
to let it go.
I do really love the
colors in my recent painting "Speak to Me".

7. What are you working
on at the moment?
I just finished another insect painting, exposing some social
issues currently in the news, and I also have another "cityscape" on
the easel right now.....
8. Do you sell your
work? If so Where all do you sell your work?
I have sold pieces online, and art shows, and through friends.
9. If you are an artist,
do you make a living off your art?
Most Artists’ appreciate that there is the art that totally
captivates and inspires us, and then there is the "art" that pays the
bills! I got approached this morning to do the illustrations for an upcoming E
Book. That's exciting!
10. Do you think your
country’s government gives enough financial support to local artists?
I usually do not participate in Government Grants and such....but
I do hear that US Government support for the Arts is decreasing. It's very sad!
11. Do you support local
artists? If so, how?
Definitely....I attend
shows all around North East Ohio.
12. What are you doing
when you’re not creating? What (other) hobbies do you have?
I swim and run, exercise is a great stress reducer and I am very
much into architecture & interior design.
13. What would people be
surprised to learn about you?
I am deathly afraid of insects! They are my phobia.
14. Technically, what
would you consider to be a piece of art? Why?
Anything created by a human...I'm not sure on my feelings about
digital art, yet.
15. Do you have any tips
or inspiring words for others?
Sometimes art can start loosely & abstractly, with simple
shapes and hard edges...give it a little color, and a hint of social meaning
and you may soon have a masterpiece!
