About the Artist

itr logo"Having taught art for many years to all ages, my art experience covers a variety of media and techniques. I am constantly experimenting with ideas and materials. When something catches my eye, it goes into my brain, mixes with my creativity and comes out as a work of art."

The Artist specializes in acrylic painting and paints a variety of subjects including maritime, landscape, still life, flowers, and animals, mostly representational. She developed a technique of "Puzzle Paintings" in which she cuts a board into puzzle type pieces, paints each of these segments individually, them puts them back together to create the completed, slightly distorted looking work.

As author, Irene has written a drawing book with a different approach - What Color is a Cloud? She also has written a book about Missionary Cook, who worked in Japan from 1902 to 1916 - No Time To Rest. She did extensive research to gain information about her grandfather, H. H. Cook.
