My Creative Spirit:
"I embody the Renaissance ideal of an artist, working in every medium with skill, intelligence and passion."
~ Pablo Picasso

As a creative person, Luci cannot work in only one medium. Although her focus is on watercolor painting, she also works in oil, acrylic, gouache, serigraphy and ceramics. She not only paints on paper, she also paints on furniture and walls. She has commissioned art pieces ranging from house and barn portraits, business signs, painted furniture, to murals of birds on a kitchen wall, and fruits and vegetables on a produce barn. Her work is as realistic as a photograph or as abstract as just shapes. She works in both forms; she needs the structure and the spontaneity.

She teaches watercolor for the University of Wisconsin Union Mini-Courses and M.A.T.C. Adult and Continuing Education in Madison, as well as various weekend workshops.

Memberships include the Madison Watercolor Society, the Southern Wisconsin Watercolor Society, Madison Art Guild, the Wisconsin Regional Artist Association and the Wisconsin Alliance of Artists and Craftspeople.

Luci will do watercolor and acrylic demonstration each day, with visitor participation encouraged.
