A self taught artist, firewalker, Jill of all trades and student of Life... I have always been interested in creating art. As a teenager I discovered my art talents though I did not get the opportunity to fully explore them until later in life when I began to dabble with watercolors. I love to observe the world around me and capture the moments with pen and/or brush to share with others. I paint... for pleasure.
Returning to live in my home state of New York up on the Canadian border, I have traveled and lived in various states over the years including Arizona, Texas, Colorado, California and most recently Alaska. Each location has a uniqueness about it... a special quality all of it's own. Experiencing the different people, wildlife and landscapes has added to my creative juices giving me a wealth of subjects to observe and paint.
I currently offer only original art works... no reproductions of my paintings will be sold as I want to focus my time in the painting process thereby giving my clients the opportunity to own an original one of a kind painting at a reasonable price. Even if I paint the same subject again and again... no two paintings will be alike.
Often I will journal the progression of a painting along with notes and thoughts in my online art journal to share with others. Experience the creative process, see through artist's eyes by visiting the ART BY DABS Blog - An Artist's Journal.
