Old Lady Thoughts
She got into creating as a means of keeping her mind busy. Having worked for many years, she had many responsibilities and decided to change something in her life. It was a way for her to express her self and her feelings and drawing was the perfect way to do this. What started off as a passion became a full blown project within a short while. She had no a professional preparation in art. In fact, her early years were not at all devoted to the kind of work she was to do later on.
But for the last ten years of her life she realized that one could not even be too old to take a pencil and start to sketch. Her cartoons show her views on life. They are entertaining, uplifting, and many of them teach a lesson. She lives life and uses her humor to come up with her content in day to day life. They are not just drawings. They are moments of her inner world depicted in a light and easily identifiable manner. Please, scroll down to see her works in the next section.
