Statement
I am the Founder of the NEW ORLEANS DRAWING GROUP (2005), a weekly figure drawing session, originally live, in-person, now in a Zoom format due to Covid. A Master Pastellist in the Pastel Society of America (PSA) and Eminent Pastellist in the International Association of Pastel Societies (IAPS), my award-winning moody, atmospheric, and figurative pastel interiors have been exhibited internationally. My pastels have been featured in many leading art magazines, as Pratique Des Arts’ Special Pastel Issue: “La Figure Dans Tous Ses Etats", Pastel Journal Magazine: "The Romantic Space", Pastel Artist International: "Ambience You Can Cut with a Knife", Artist’s Magazine: "Creating Movement with Light", and American Artist Magazine: "Picturing What People Leave Behind". I had been the IAPS Vice-President from its inception in 1994 through 2006 and will be giving a workshop at their 2024 convention, and she is a Degas Pastel Society Signature Officer. I have been represented by Carol Robinson Gallery, New Orleans, LA, for over 25 years and was one of thirteen female U.S. pastels artists at the “Pastels of the World, Orangery of the Castle of Louviere, in Bourbonnais, France, June 2022.
