Vita
Born in Pensacola, Florida in
1918, my childhood was spent in Washington, DC and Georgia before
moving to New Orleans in my teens. At the University of Alabama I met my brilliant
engineer husband; we were married in my sophomore year when I was eighteen, and set of on
an adventuresome life in several southern states while he designed bridges, then to
Connecticut, Venezuela, Maryland, and finally to New Orleans, where for 25 years he was on
the Tulane faculty. We were always interested in the forefront of science and technology,
as well as philosophy, art, and creativity, which I have found again on the WWW.
Widowed in 1982, I moved to a retirement home in Delaware to be near
NYC, Philadelphia, and Washington. Now a recluse in failing health, I find my "art
studio in a box" the perfect answer for energy-sparing creativity, and Art on the Net
a delightful connection to other artists.
After sixty years of working in traditional art mediums, I discovered
digital art in mid 1995. With Fauve-Matisse software, using the
mouse as a brush, I am experimenting daily and the possibilities blow my mind. The
transition to computer generated art demands even greater emphasis on drawing. I begin
with an idea drawn in my regular sketchbook, transfer it into the computer via Sketcher
software to correct the proportions, etc., then into Fauve-Matisse where I paint and
manipulate it with filters and enhancers.
