| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Over the years my inspiration has changed. In the early years Andrew Wyeth fascinated me. Then I saw the work of James Moran at the National Gallery in DC. They were breath taking. I am also fascinated Beverly Doolittle's skill in "hiding" in plain sight art.

Win said the following quote by Kandinsky says it best: “That is beautiful which is produced by the inner need, which springs from the soul.”

| Your Personal Biography |
BIO
Win grew up surrounded by nature in the Appalachian Mountains of Western Pennsylvania. She was the youngest of three children. Times were hard but her Mom had been a schoolteacher so she fueled the creative juices using flour and water or egg whites for glue and the Sears and Roebuck Catalog for creative projects. The catalog was a great “art book” she and her sisters would cut our figures and used them as paper dolls, etc. The family entertainment was long rides in the country to spot deer. On one of the family rides she saw the head of a deer looking out through the pine trees. She experienced an overwhelming need to capture the image of that deer and could hardly wait until they got home so she could draw it. She said that only after she drew the deer did the “feeling” recede and she can still see the deer as if the incident happened yesterday. Win feels that her uncle had the “art” gene in the family. He was a taxidermist who also raised exotic birds, painted and sculpted. He also experimented by using wood putty to sculpt the bodies of his animal paintings for a three-dimensional look. When she visited his shop she was captivated by all the art. She would watch him as he did reverse painting on glass or used pastels. He was a bachelor and didn’t really relate to kids but one day he showed her how to use pastels and together they did a painting of pansies. She felt very privileged because of all the nieces and nephews he chose her.
Win said that when she becomes absorbed in creating, the same wondrous childhood feeling she calls her “magic moment” takes over. Like Alice in Wonderland, she is propelled along the path, finding and capturing unexpected delights. Nothing gives her more pleasure than capturing a “magic moment” and finding that people viewing the creation experience a similar feeling.
Over the years, Win’s artistic style has progressed from very realistic to semi-abstract. She had always been taught that you must stay with one medium, but something happened that made her change my mind. A couple of years ago she was in a painter’s slump and decided to attend an experimental art workshop. She said it was a blast, by the end of the week a whole new thought process had opened up to she. Talk about “going outside the lines” this was way off the page! Now each time she pick up a paintbrush, a piece of clay, or glass, her thoughts rush ahead to the “what ifs”. Trying new media and processes has kept her art fresh and new.
Win lives in Southern Maryland with a view of the Chesapeake Bay spreading out before her. The germ of many of her paintings is born during the long walks or paddles on the Bay. She said she incubates the idea in her mind for several days until an inner sense tells her it is ready. When Win starts to creation, she lets the subconscious takes over and enters her “magic moment” state.
Win said the following quote by Kandinsky says it best: “That is beautiful which is produced by the inner need, which springs from the soul.”
