 "As
a child, I loved fantasy art. I collected books, note cards, stickers …
anything I could my little hands on. It wasn't long until I started
filling sketchbooks with my own drawings. I now have quite a collection
of ideas, all waiting to be painted into life.
"I paint what I love. My inspirations are the enchanted forests where
nature spirits wander, beautiful flowers that pay homage to our Earth
Mother, and the luminous moon and stars above. Magic is in the tiniest
things."
Gretchen's lifelong artistic passion led to a Fine Arts degree from Iowa
State University, where she won numerous awards for her artwork and
learned a host of techniques for drawing and painting in watercolor and
acrylics. Her artwork is distributed worldwide from her studio in Desert
Hills, Arizona. There, in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, she and her
husband, Greg, enjoy the sounds of quail in the morning and coyote at
night. |
