Artist Statement

I am a 79 year old artist living in Middletown, New Jersey. I come from a family of artists, and have been doing this all of my life. I always worked in pastels and charcoal, but I have Fibromyalgia and arthritis in my hands., and can't really hold a pencil or stand at my easel anymore, so a few years ago my husband bought me a drawing laptop. I can sit at my desk and still create with a digital pen. It's worked out amazingly well. I love animals, and in the last few years I've concentrated on birds, flowers and insects. I've never tried to sell my work. If someone likes it I'll make copies for them.
