About The Artist
Is an artist statement like giving the police your statement when you find someone dead in your home? The only statement you could make then is “I want my attorney.” Your bank sends you a statement of your spending and savings every month. No, that’s more like a sentence, “You are sentenced to life with no money for the next ten years.” I could make a statement for the press, that I was never really interested in art until my husband insisted I get a studio, even though I had no idea what I would do with an art studio. After having an art studio for 8 years, I can make an art statement of fact. I love humor in art and I believe my art would work well in an entertainment room or the bathroom, which ever room needs a laugh the most.
Eight years have passed since I gave up photography and rented a studio. Photography was my only artistic experience – seriously, no heart pages in a journal, no doodling on the walls. So what kind of art did I like? I started going to abstract workshops to find my artistic style. I was clueless when the teachers said just throw some paint down, it doesn’t matter how it looks. I thought, “What does that mean “it doesn’t matter?” The end product was a mess. I’ll get it next time. Nope, didn’t happen, workshop after workshop, it didn’t happen. Through sheer torture and the help of a really good, patient mentor, Janet Bogardus, I find I like fun, funny art work, humor is my artistic style! It doesn’t matter what medium. I have so many funny things to show you, I had better get busy. There’s a lot to do.
