Reggie is a Dork

Creation is good for the soul. During a time when I needed to heal, painting provided an avenue of escape and helped focus my thoughts allowing me to be in the moment. Then, during a time when we all were alienated from our families and friends, painting allowed me to grow close to a supportive group of artists with weekly zoom classes.

I have come to enjoy finding different ways to put paint on the canvas – the strength of the stroke of a pallet knife, the softness of the brush, the movement created by sprayed water or the feel of the paint on my fingertips. Most of all, though, I feel most accomplished when I create a piece that tells a story and elicits a giggle from the audience.
