About Mimi's Artiques

I have always loved drawing, painting and creating with my hands. I would like to share that love with others.

The purpose of this blog is to share art techniques that I have learned and continue to use, also to share and sell my art work and to inspire. I have been doing art since I was a small child and art has always been a part of my life. I just retired from teaching art and now I am enjoying actually doing more art than teaching it. 

At this time my main focus is watercolor. I will also be sharing about other media such as acrylic, oil, clay, drawing, pastels and pen & ink. I will start this blog with watercolor techniques and examples which will have prints and greeting cards available.

I am a mother of five lovely and talented children, one son and four daughters.  I also have 12 wonderful grandchildren and one great granddaughter. I grew up in Northern Virginia and now live in the west.  I have been able to travel a lot, especially Europe which has had a lot of influence on me.  I love to share the beauty I see and enjoy by placing it on my canvas and creating it with my hands.
