My creative obsession began as a child with paint by number sets. My first set was of Pinky and Blue Boy they were almost taller than me. I spent many hours painting and mixing my own colors while working on these two paintings. I was hooked.
I now prefer working in watercolor, which I find both challenging and stimulating. The majority of my work is considered representational or realistic while my abstracts are objective instead of an abstraction of a recognizable subject. When I am working on a portrait it is the eyes that make me want to recreate what I see. Are the eyes windows to the soul?
I playfully named my studio Pearson StudiOCD ObsessiveCreativeDisorder, because of my compulsive need to create. I am a self taught artist working in many different mediums. I have won both local and national awards for my fine art and was fortunate to be included in a National juried watercolor show of Oklahoma in which there were only five other Oklahoma artists and 300 total applicants.
I love to paint, draw, design my own patterns for jewelry, and work in polymer clay on small sculptures, beads, and abstract paintings for book covers. Most evenings I will crochet or knit while watching television.
I take great pride in creating unique art for my customers. There may be some similarities, in some of my jewelry, but never exact copies. Each new piece I craft is generally inspired by something I have already designed. The same thing is also true with my fiber art. Each piece I craft is the spring board for something new. I love color, texture, and shadows. These three things will always catch my attention and are catalysts of inspiration as I go about my daily life.
I am a retired Tech Sergeant from the United States Air Force Reserves/Air National Guard and my husband and I live in Midwest City Oklahoma. We have three children between us two wonderful sons and a beautiful daughter. We are also proud grandparents of two delightful grandsons of whom the oldest has already proven his artistic abilities on the walls of his home.
