Welcome

ORIGINAL GRAPHITE PENCIL DRAWINGS


Welcome to my art page. I'm a self taught artist who works primarily in graphite. I have always been interested in drawing and during the past few years have had the opportunity to devote a little more time to it. Although I do accept commissions most of my drawings are of people and places that have special meaning to me.
I've put together some of my favorite images on this page. Hopefully you will see something that appeals to you or evokes some special memory.
I will be updating this page periodically so please stop by again.
Thank you,
Rita


Now On Display

Some of my drawings are currently on display in The Gallery at 254 Sea Street in Dennisport, MA. The three drawings below are some of my works that are on display.

I'd like to give special thanks to my daughter Kim who has always been and continues to be my inspiration, gallery owner Sylvia Matthews who truly has been my "art angel" and all my friends and family for their support and encouragement .

Longing


Longing for a child to love,
I'd wish upon the stars above.
In my heart I always knew,
A part of me belonged to you.
