BIOGRAPHY
I
am from Mahopac NY and went to art school in NYC. Married Lenny , and raised two
wonderful children. We spent many years in Vermont and moved more recently to
the beach in North Carolina.
I
have been an artist for many years and recently have been producing monoprints
and watercolors, specializing in whimsical works that feature cats.
I have artwork on display in the Carolina Artists’ Studio Gallery and.
Sleeping Cats Studio in Morehead City.
I
didn’t think much of that little phrase.
I knew he was referring to the Broadway show “CATS”. However, the phrase stayed in my mind. A few days later while thumbing through some of my art books,
I came upon
Matisse’s “THE DANCERS”
and at that moment
my mind connected, Voila! “Dancing Cats”. The painting
received an honorable mention at the Carteret County “Art For The Heart”
exhibition and took second place at the Carteret County Senior Games.
“Dancing Cats” was created by the oil monotype method, using a
zinc plate. The original of
“Dancing Cats” is not for sale, but I do offer prints and other original
art..
Monotype-Monoprint
The monoprint is an intriguing hybrid of printmaking techniques.
It is neither a print nor a painting, but a combination of the two.
The method is aptly named because it is one, (Mono), image painted or
drawn with oil paint, water paint or printers ink.
The image is painted on a flat plate and then transferred to dampened
paper by pressing or rubbing the paper. When
the paper is removed the image remains on the paper in reverse.
This method is quite old, having first been used by printmakers in the
1500's.
