Painter and Sculptor
"To create art is to confront our dual nature as both spirit and body. The work must express spirit and speak to the spirit of the person who views it. Yet the work itself must be embodied. Making art is intensely physical. Doing the work means working with and upon certain materials. It is out of this wrestling with form and matter that spirit can be known”
This artist has been commissioned by universities, colleges, churches , cities, corporations, and private collectors from all over the United States. She will be on hand to speak about her work and the various processes she uses for sculpting and painting.
The sun filled 1,000 square ft. studio facility is a professional working space where individuals and groups can discover their creative passion in workshops and classes. The gardens, foliage, bronze and stainless steel outdoor sculptures and mountain views provide an inspiring landscape for plein air painting and drawing classes and a fun sculpture scavenger hunt.
