I started painting when I was 58 years old - 15 years ago [you figure it out!] which is certainly proof that anyone can paint something if not everything! I studied at The Painting School in Glyfada, Greece and at the Art Student's League in New York where I was told to "stay away from school - school will kill you - go home, paint every day all day!" I did that for a few years and am just getting back to painting for at least half a day most days.

I have a Kid's art class on Saturday afternoons starting September 8, 2007.

I am also the webmistress here so if you find any errora or have suggestions please get in touch.

My Blog - A Place to Hang - I post most days.
