Carol E Maltby

    Being a self taught artist, I have been drawing for as long as I can remember.  Starting with pencil and crayons, I graduated to pen and ink for a number of years.   Wanting to do color. I started using oil paints.  I used these for a number of years also starting to participate in local art shows. Having to find myself in a situation of needing to pick up and put down at a moments notice,  I made pen and ink my primary media.  People who seen my work, complained that there should be more color.  I never felt this way.  My pen and inks were complete in themselves.                                                                     At this time I tried colored pencil.  I've since been working and expermenting in this media.
