My paintings
I hardly ever paint anymore. Painting used to be my life but I don't have the time for it anymore and I've sorta lost the motivation for it as well. I have too many hobbies as it is.

However lately, my son has asked me why I don't paint anymore, he said that he misses seing me paint. This really got me thinking. So I have decided to update this page and see if it can revive something for me somehow. I used to go at my friend's ceramic-café to work. I've been looking around for a "painting buddy" ever since he closed down, but with no success.            
So I present to you here a few exemples of my work. You'll see that I have no specific style of my own, I just go along with whatever medium & inspiration comes my way. This is the oldest painting that I could track down. It's dated "83", so it means that I was 12 years old when I made it. It's oil on canevas.
I still teach various related classes on occasion at a local women center however and I've done a few paintings recently for various Arts & sciences competitions but that's about it. My most recent paintings (the 2 abstract ones lower on this page) have been done fairly quickly for the use of a short film that I've directed in spring 2008. These days I'm more into tempura on vellum & wood and into ceramic painting. I've also recently redecorated my room with an Egyptian theme and did a quick fresco on the wall but that's right about it. I feel that my drawing talent is slowly leaving me as I don't practice enough ;
So these are older paintings that I did back when I was very active ;

The followings are copies of other artist's work that were made for my mother. Please note that I don't specialise in forgery and I've never received any kind of money for doing those. They've never left my mother's house and I intend to destroy them when she passes away.

My mother never appreciated my art in any form and she couldn't afford to pay for the original artist's work so all through my life, she'd always beg for me to reproduce them for her. For years now, I've refused to sign them and for a few years as well, I've been refusing to do this all together, which is trully pissing her off. She really doesn't get it. This has always been a burdun to me. I've always felt as though I was prostituting myself somehow, even though I wasn't getting paid for this.

Even though I had the talent for it, I think that this is mainly what has killed my love of painting. Nobody ever wants to pay for my own work anyway and I was getting burried with paintings everywhere and behind every furniture in the house, still am by the way, no more available walls to hang them, so I've stopped painting all together.

Most of these were inspired or copied from greeting-cards that she'd provide me with and she'd have already cut-off the cover of the card. The info being at the back, I unfortunatly don't have a clue about most of the original titles nor the name of the artists who's painted them. Also note that architecture isn't my thing at all, I'm not into straight lines, I enjoy painting emotions & living things.
