I am a self-taught artist, now retired, seeking to fill my time with creativity, exploration, and continual learning. Art has always been a quiet passion, and retirement has gifted me the space to pursue it more freely. Without formal training, my work grows from curiosity, observation, and experimentation. Each piece is an opportunity to discover something new — about color, texture, emotion, or myself. I’m especially drawn to [insert your preferred medium or subject, e.g., watercolor, mixed media, nature scenes, abstract shapes], and I enjoy trying new styles as part of my journey. Art keeps my hands and heart busy — and my mind open.
