Let me take a moment to introduce myself!
I was married for almost thirty five years, until cancer intervened.
I still 'dare to dream'.
I'm a member of the 'baby boomer' generation and 'almost' old enough to collect social security.
I make my living...albeit sometimes less than I need..selling my art online.
I am a self taught...self represented semi professional artist.

My Artist's Statement
As a published artist, I find that I am asked, on occasion for an 'artist's statement'...here is a copy of one that I had to present recently.'Nebraska native, Charlene Murray Zatloukal, has spent much of the past 35 years, creating. In her creations she has found that life is a lesson in communication.
"We are what we think. And, we express ourselves in our thoughts, if not always in our actions."
"Painting is a dialogue that allows me to express myself without words. It is a silent witness of who I am and how I am feeling. I often find freedom in expressing myself in this manner, since I believe that more is said in silence than in words. Many things in life just "are."
It is my feeling that art does not need to be explained. If a painting does not speak for itself, no amount of explanation will convince the viewer of its value or justify its existence. I feel that a painting is a statement... good statements and bad statements and consistent with the 'inner' person.
My art is an opportunity for me to be myself without explaining myself. I am what I am. It is a personal statement of who I am and how I feel about the world around me."

Art for Cancer on Imagekind
For anyone who doesn't already know, I lost my husband (my best friend in the whole world) to cancer in 2006.When given the opportunity to join a group that raises money, through art, to help fight this insidious disease, I jumped at the chance!
