I am 66 years young! I have been seriously painting since Jr. High school. My favorite medium is oils but I also use Acrylic's and watercolors. I also dabble with soft pastels. I am from Washington State and moved to Wisconsin with my partner 14 years ago. I got serious about painting again when taking care of Dad who suffered with Dementia. I am very blessed to have my children (3 boys and 3 grandchildren near me as they have all moved to Wisconsin. Life is good!!
