Meet the Maker
My name is Camille Goscicki, and I'm from Sterling Heights, Michigan (Metro Detroit area). When I retired in 2021, I wasn't sure what to do with the next chapter in my life. As I sat on the couch, attempting to watch daytime television, I had a revelation. A few revelations, actually. One: I hate daytime television. Two: Napping is overrated. Three: Eureka! I needed to stir up my brain cells and I couldn't do that just sitting around!
Flashback to my childhood: I loved to draw and paint. I was no child genius, mind you. But it was a fun pastime. Eureka! I thought to myself. I'll take art lessons! And that, my friends, is why I'm here today, and my hands are often colorful, along with my clothes.
After stuttering along for awhile, I finally discovered that I love creating with acrylic paints (and other media, such as India inks, acrylic inks, and spray inks). That has been my focus for the last 18 months. It's been wonderful, (and challenging) to learn new skills and find my own voice. Other than art, i enjoy reading, exercising for brain and body fitness and discovering new music through Spotify.
I live with my husband of 39 years, and we have an adult married daughter who lives in Frankfurt, Germany with her husband and our grand-cat, Rocky.
