I am a mixed media artist, having lived in Brooklyn since 1989. In 2009, after a long hiatus, I got out my paints inspired to make art again while working in my career which included graphic design and marketing.

“Retired” from my profession as business communicator, I enjoy time to push color around canvas. 2019, frustrated by a lack of work space in my home, I found a place in Oregon for a working studio, gallery, small retail area, and room to offer monthly “playshops” in a variety of media.

Open by chance or appointment during these COVID times. If my “open” sign is lit, I am ready to welcome visitors. To make an appointment text 608-220-5139.

I am selling individually hand-dyed cotton face masks in my online shop. www.ongaartshop.com

OngaArt has as its intention to represent and share the energy that we truly are. I am in love with color.

“Onga” is the name that my grandson gave me. As his naming coincided with the time I began to make art again, it was a no-brainer to use
