Points of View

Ever since I was a young girl I have been both a consumer and maker in the arts: visual arts, vocal, instrumental and theater. I have probably dabbled in most every visual art medium, and plan to return to my love of painting when my children are grown and I once again find the gift of time. I have long abandoned classical guitar, choral music and the stage, but enjoyed every moment exploring my creative side. I am an equally avid audience member, spending much of my “free time” in awe of the incredible arts and culture offerings in Denver. I would add that it has been a joy to watch my children take an interest in the arts and become part of the next generation of art consumers and makers.
