Biography

Canadian born, Connie always loved to draw as a youngster, she loved to scketch faces, her art was always encouraged by her 8th grade teacher. Doing the paritcal thing, she studied nursing after she finished grade school and she left her art pursuits behind for awhile. She started traveling the world, and decided it was time to take up her childhood passion again. She studied with people she admired , and found two wonderful mentors in Hawaii, Gloria Foss, teaching color theory, and Patric, teaching portraiture. In 1980 there was an oppotunity to start a cooperative gallery in Oahu, so although assisting her husband with his business, she felt it was" now or never" to get back to her passion. In 1986 she started Arts of Paradise with two other ladies, and had an amazing learning experience in marketing, and sales as well as creating artworks for the gallery. In 2000, due to her husband's health problems , she went back to helping him with his business, but kept up her art , doing portrait commissions, illustrating a book , and doing designs for several design companies. She also got into many of the other galleries in Hawaii, after Arts of Paradise closed. "Life is not what we expect sometimes , but my art has been a passion and a journey that is ever changing and growing." I believe it is a need to do, a need to paint. I am excited to start each painting, be it a portrait, a landscape or a stillife. I never really know how it will turn out, I don't have any set formulas. I love exploring and experimenting.Wet into wet, watercolor, oil or pastel, each has its own excitement!
