Married to the love of my life, with a loving and wonderful family. A work history that includes many different careers, as my husband's job moved us from town to town. My degree from Endicott College has served me well.I have lived in several states and have retired to Idaho. That is me in one paragraph? Those are the facts. But who am I? It's hard to believe that I am a Colorist. Sad to say but when I was in elementary school I was the worst in my class at coloring. I found staying in the lines impossible. Worse than that, I always broke my crayons, which in turn broke my heart. Six decades after being a coloring failure the coloring craze hit. I was truly concerned that I still couldn't color, but thought "why not?" Who was going to see it anyway? Sounds like fun so why not try. When I bought my first Adult Coloring book I truly felt silly. With a small box of pencils and a package of markers and minimal investment there began my obsession. Today I actually have a little coloring group called ' Coloring Obsession with Lilly Padd ' that I started when I found out how many of my friends on Facebook colored, too. We all started out as secret colorists. Although I was teased by friends and family, I discovered a great satisfaction in finishing a page and saying to myself, ' Wow, that is great! ' It happened again when I shared it with my Facebook family. Instant gratification! As time went by I joined coloring groups and would post a picture and receive over 100 'likes' and comments from total strangers saying they love my art work. I had conquered my dismal coloring past! As my love of coloring grew I was getting discouraged because I soon discovered there weren't enough Coloring Books I wanted to color. For me coloring tiny objects and patterns exhausted me. To find pictures that would not strain my eyesight, give me a headache, or take 5 days to finish was a challenge. As a result, I discovered grayscale. Grayscale helps you shade and frankly makes your finished works more like a photo than a coloring page. I use many mediums. colored pencils, water color pencils, markers, liquid chalk even acrylic paints. Experimenting is what makes it so much fun. Sweet Victorian is a grayscale coloring book of Victorian illustrations that I love to color. My passion became my work and today I am a published photographer and coloring book author at the tender age of 72. As I move forward in my new career I keep thinking of the advice," Do something you love!" Lucky me, I am!
