Hi, all.
Cynthia suggested that I introduce myself, so here goes. I'm am a professional painter and pastel artist working in the New England area for the past thirty years. I worked in the commercial illustration business for many years before turning my full-time attention to portraiture. Also, I have taught illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design. I belong to the Copley Society in Boston and have had many showings in the area. I work out of my home in Woonsocket, RI, with my husband and five cats. My current passion is huge pastel drawings. Some of the commisioned portraits I have done can be seen at this web-site

I'll try to answer any questions relating to oil painting, pastel and illustation methods. Most recently I've done a great deal of sleuthing on the topic of paper, especially as it relates to large format pastel, so don't hesitate to 'pick my brain' on that subject.
