About

I came to making art later in life.

I enjoy the process of making art. Once it’s done, it goes out into the world and then it belongs, in every way, to someone else. But it leaves behind the memory of its creation, the satisfaction in doing so, and the motivation to repeat the process. .

My motto is,
“Give it a try and see what happens”.

    So it is possible to write and do art! I used to draw a lot then writing came along, mostly poems, but now I don’t seem able to get back to drawing. i wanted to illustrate some of my poems but I’ve become stuck in writing only! Is there a special key to unlocking the creative sides of my character?

      I think sometimes it comes down to setting a time and date and forcing yourself to start. Once you get going, it carries itself along. At least that is what I think!

      I have a lot of art friends in the Lehigh Valley and did many outdoor art shows over the past 25 years or so, plus a few other things. I still visit the area often. What a great place.

      Merril Smith did an interview with you and I read it and was interested, so I looked you up. I also write poetry on this blog, https://claudiamcgill.wordpress.com/, not that you need to read it, that is just where I know Merril from, the writing side of my brain. Thanks for taking a look at my art, it’s been a big part of my life for decades and a place where I do my thinking and reflecting. I look forward to your beach thoughts.
