A Few of my Favorite Things!
"Each day comes bearing its own gifts..." Untie the Ribbons."--R.A. Schabacker
Early in the sixties, as four fellow Liverpudlians took America by storm, my family arrived in the US and settled in New Jersey. After forging a successful 30-year career in publishing and journalism, in 2001, my lifelong dream of studying painting became a reality as I began extended instruction with several of the finest contemporary artists.
Moving forward, this visual journal is a way of chronicling a personal odyssey in art. I hope that by sharing my passion for painting life's journey, it will become a gateway for us to connect... exchange ideas... inform... inspire and entertain... all with the Arts in mind.
Toward that aim, please feel free to participate in its creation by sending along your comments, art news, or interesting items for discussion in future issues.

These are so lovely. Your work is just fantastic. Happy New Year.
That is a phenomenal group of paintings. Very, very nice work.
The "Painter Bouquet" really attracts me for it's looseness and subject matter. I would be proud to have any of them hanging on my walls.
Thanks for sharing your work and have a great 2010.
Eighteen wonderful paintings. That is a good year!
Louise, it's been long time since I've seen nature morte paintings so full of soul, as if those were portraits. Your paintings make me feel good.
