An artist friend once told me, “Sometimes we paint ahead of ourselves.” And progress is not necessarily in a straight line. I have found these ideas to be true. However, there is always the flow the ‘perpetual motion’ as I work to make love, gratitude and beauty the goals in my artwork and live and strive to create that which makes me happy.

Ideas need to be discovered. They are not finite – not limited except by ones vision. So to with artistic ideas – infinite – only awaiting discovery. The harmonious flow of ideas depends on listening to the inner self, “that still small voice”, enabling one to control circumstances control. It is a spiritual response to create ones own outer environment as a projection of the higher, inner self. The harmonious flow of ideas is frusrated by negative enotion and intellect – fear, worry, anxiety, depression – “the Agony.” The unrestricted flow of ideas – “The Ecstasy.”

Pucci’s watercolor, oil, acrylic, and mixed media paintings, drawings and sculptures of wood and stone flow as the inner voice suggests – strong in design, sometimes simplistic, often complex and always intuitive. Her work which ranges from realism to total abstraction has appeared in numerous shows and is in public, private and corporate collections throughout the country. She retired from teaching in 2003, having taught Art from kindergarten through adult levels. She holds a Bachelor of Science degreee in Art Education from the University of Wisconsin, LaCrosse and has done undergraduate work through the Universities of Wisconsin, Madison and Stevens Point. 

Pucci’s studio is open by appointment so contact her to view her artwork or for a demonstration of her painting, sculpting (in either stone or wood), collage techniques or working with mixed media.
