A native Nebraskan, now living in Iowa after a 5 year sojourn in Lipetsk, Russia, I attribute my vision and outlook to those blocks of time. While living in Lipetsk, I was blessed to have a great mentor who told me to “Get out and paint on the street. Learn the light.” Spoken in a different language of course, but the message is the same. Learn the light. I paint in oil, both studio work and en plein air. I love the challenge (and camaraderie!) of painting at plein air festivals.
