I am a self-taught artist. I have always loved creating and this path has led me to
create my art business and to help others enjoy being creative. My true passion is
abstract.
I am married and have a grown daughter who lives in Chicago. I work part time as
a counselor and use art to help people to heal. I will be retiring at the end of
November and looking forward to traveling this new path.
I paint with many mediums: alcohol ink, India ink, pastels, encaustic, cold wax,
watercolors, mixed media, acrylics, and collage.
I also teach classes; all classes are listed on my website;
www.designsbydarlene.studio.
In addition to being an artist at Cheshire Union in Canandaigua, I have art in
Skaneateles Artisans in Skaneateles, I have a shop at the Windmill in Penn Yan, I
have pieces at Artizanns in Naples, and The Artist Lounge in Seneca Falls, I also
have a studio in my home in Canandaigua.
I am a rotating artist with Ontario County Art Council, I belong to Yates County Art
Guild and a member of Mill Art Gallery in Honeoye Falls.
