I am a wife, mother (of six) and grandmother (of nine).

I am also a professional artist, painting as 'CMZ Art' and as, 'Rustic Goth'.

I have been painting and selling my creations for almost thirty years.

Without the benefit of secondary or formal training in the study and development of artistic education, everything I have learned about the creation and expression of art, I have learned on my own.

My art can be found in collections, homes and offices throughout the US, Canada, Europe and Australia. I have created and sold original art since 1975, with much success.

I draw the inspiration for my art from everyday life, from the recesses of my imagination and quite often from an accidental slip of the hand or an experiment gone awry.

I am committed to offering only original work that is unique, interesting and entirely my own. I have neither the interest nor the time to follow or emulate what others are doing, as I am too busy trying to follow the visions and the 'voices in my own mind'.

I love to create art of all kinds and all mediums and I hope others enjoy looking at my work as much as I have enjoyed creating it. Thank you.
