Artist’s statement: I have dabbled in art all my life with sketching and drawing. I grew up in Swampscott, MA., an oceanside community north of Boston.  Professionally, I have worked as an RN and a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner for 45 years.  I had a few courses in art as a teen & took 2 courses at Montserrat School of Art in Beverly, MA in pastels and watercolors with artist/teacher, Mimi Johnson. Retiring in 2016, I have had the time to pursue my interests in art, music and dance.  Artist, Elaine Griffith teaches classes at Holden Senior Center in acrylic painting which I started in October 2017.  Since then, I have exhibited in various places in Central MA. I started Art Classes with Bill Griffiths at the Worcester Art Museum in 2018, which brought me to a new level as an artist.  He has taught in all mediums and students work in the medium of their choosing.  I have exhibited at the Museum’s Adult Student Art Exhibit and at Arts Worcester.  In 2018, I started watercolor classes with Charlie Gray in Rutland, MA., a local well-known artist who has been instrumental in improving my watercolor technique. I am also a musician and singer & have sung in choruses and churches in Greater Boston.  I studied voice with the late Pauline Maher of Lynn, MA.

The Pandemic in 2020 cut into my exhibition time.  My exhibit at the Booklovers Gourmet is my first of 2020.  I hope you enjoy this sampling of my work!
