ART DISPLAY for February 2012 Throughout the month, the Library will be showcasing the artistic talents of Maureen Schwartz ~The following is an introduction submitted by~ Maureen Schwartz
I am Maureen Schwartz, born and raised in Richmond, Virginia.
Back in the sixties, I started my brief painting career. With three children and a full time job, it ended quickly due to lack of time, energy, and no art training.
There is one thing back then that I am quite proud of. I entered one of my paintings at an art exhibit at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. I won a blue ribbon.
After retiring and moving here to Emerald Isle, I looked forward to giving painting another try. Being fortunate enough to find a talented and inspiring teacher in David Parker, the results of that are what you see here.
Recently I have painted a series of whimsical notecards of cats and dogs with accompanying stories of their life at the Crystal Coast. They are for sale in many shops locally.
I hope you enjoy looking at my paintings as much as I did doing them.
