Interests and Personality
| Biography | Like most artists I would have drawn in the womb if I'd had paper and pencils. I can't remember when I wasn't drawing cartoons and making comic books and taking them to school to pass around to my friends. My father was a very talented artist so I inherited some of my skill from him. I graduated from Western Carolina University in Cullowhee,NC where I got a BFA in printmaking. I adore the rich graphic quality of prints even though I love pen & ink, acrylics, watercolors, and my "Compullages™." Some people will tell you that they love to do art...I have to do ART it is part of my soul. For 20 years I was Advertising and Visual Merchandising Manager for Belk stores in NC and GA. I won many awards for my work while there. Due to medical disability I now have the opportunity to chase my dream of doing fine art fulltime. Each day is a challenge, each artwork an achievement! |
| Interests | The beauty of God's creation. Great art from great artists. Acrylic paintings, relief prints, pen & ink drawings, photography, assemblage sculpture, marker drawings watercolors, and anything I can do in an artistic way. |
| Music | Classical music, folk rock, the Beatles, BeeGees, Sting, Paul Simon, Ennio Morricone, Yo-Yo Ma, Ladysmith Black Mambasso, Danny Elfman, and many movie soundtracks. Some country music but not all. |
| Films | Tombstone, Casino Royale ( and most all Bond films), Clint Eastwood Spaghetti westerns, John Wayne westerns,and The Incredibles. Batman Beyond, X-Men flicks and Spiderman flicks! |
| Television | Prisonbreak, 24, Supernatural,House. PBS art and culture programs. |
| Books | Eye sight isn't good enough to read much without distress. |
| Heroes | Jesus Christ, grandparents, father, mother, sister, wife, and my 4 children. Any common person who helps others in an uncommon way! |

Hi Seth! Congrats on being selected for the Artwanted calendar! (I read your post). Also, I like your piece with the boy and his puppy. Your story in the discription is not needed; the piece and the title says it all. Very nice. ~Mare

Thank you Seth! I appreciate your compliments. Your words on my "Self Portrait" were not too harsh at all. That is exactly what I would like to hear from the artists on this site. I just keep learning more and more from people, the most being from those individuals who will offer honest advice. The idea for this portrait came to me in an instant, so there was no planning involved. The idea popped into my head and I painted it. Perhaps I will eventually do a more formal one. I'll let you know if I do. It is nice to hear from you. Please keep me posted regarding your work as well. Keep creating! ~Mare
