Some FAQs About Moi

• Is being an artist a real job? Darn right it is, I work harder than I ever have in my life! There are so many things to do, creating art is just one part of my job, there's marketing, social media, printing cards and prints, shipping, not to mention applying for shows then getting ready for them!
• Can it dangerous to be an artist? Yes, one of the dangers is the sheer amount of tools to do my craft with. I am addicted to art supplies. A short list of favorite art supplies is to the left.
• Where do you show your work? Pretty much in the Pacific Northwest at  outdoor art fairs and three galleries. I have traveled as far south as Palm Desert, and as far east as Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  I also have painted commissions for a wonderful woman who lives in Paris and for an Australian couple! Here's  a list of my shows past and present!
• Do you have a degree? I do, I studied Art in Minneapolis and in Oregon, and completed my Bachelors in Fine Art degree from Oregon State University (received a scholarship too).
• What is your favorite color? My nephews always ask me that...I can never decide. Today it is orange, but I have a feeling tomorrow it will be magenta.
• Are you from a creative family? I am from a family of twelve. That is twelve siblings, same Mom and Dad, yes, we were raised catholic. I have lots of artist's in my family, some are amazing gardeners, cooks, computer geniuses, fashion photographers...I think creativity is a way of living and looking at the world. My family taught me curiosity, a great work ethic, and a love of flowers and gardening.
• What is your sign? I am a Virgo.
