I began painting with pastels in 2004 on a dare from a friend. I had never drawn or painted before that time, although I was a quilter and fiber artist. I have no formal training in studio art. Since 2004, I have taken several workshops in drawing and using pastels and have been a nearly continuous student at the AR Art Center in the painting classes. I have exhibited my work in various Arkansas Pastel Society exhibitions in El Dorado, Little Rock, Hot Springs, and Camden. I take a "painterly" approach with my pastels, using small strokes to spread the color. Most of my pastels are laid on a foundation of sanded paper with an underpainting. I am particularly interested in the contrast between lights and darks and the use of vibrant colors.
