“I create images from ink and paint in the forms of etchings, drawings, and paintings. My work is (mostly) representational and typically tells atmospheric stories of landscapes and cityscapes. Art that moves me feels timeless and perhaps a bit secretive. I’m drawn to images in which new interpretations become apparent at subsequent viewings, the way a book takes on new meaning when re-read years later.” E Daggar Art

“I am a crafter who crochets and embroiders. I am also a painter and sketch artist who brings her sketches to life with paint and sometimes thread.”
I've been a painter for 50 years. My primary medium is acrylic paint because it's versatile enough to use on a variety of bases, including canvas, wood, and glass. I paint expressionistic landscapes and self-portraits as well as abstract expressionism. I also enjoy to participate in live painting events.
