What does an experiential artist paint?
I'm literally finding inspiration in so many daily experiences. After 23 years as a
financial analyst and then software technical writer, I became disabled with
fibromyalgia. During art therapy in 2005, I discovered that some brief painting
sessions can sometimes temporarily distract me from pain and other symptoms. I also
find that with painting, I can create whatever message I wish to convey--that is, I needn't
wait for an event to photograph. Additionally with painting, I don't have to crop
undesired items from the composition as I sometimes must for a more aesthetic photo.

Some painting examples:
As mentioned in my profile in the Argus-Courier newspaper, I strive to leave a wake
of positivism wherever I go. Check out my
paintings to see if they do so for you!

You’ll see that I sign my art with the name
W.Azure. The nickname of Azure found
me when I relocated to Petaluma over two years ago. To this day, I am still awestruck
by the beautiful azure blue skies and contemplate:
Life is good.
