I am 58, with a love of skies, threatening weather, approaching storms. I enjoy recreating them in pastel, and most recently in digital photography. I am also an amateur astronomer and I've just begun 'exploring' the universe with my pastels.
I have won some awards for my paintings, and donated many to charitable and worthwhile causes. My paintings are included in private collections in Ohio, New Hampshire, Missouri, Maryland, West Virginia and Louisiana. My attic/art gallery, CirrusIntortus, is finally ready and I will be giving art lessons in pastel beginning in September 2012.
