A Brief Biography About The Artist - M.C.Gillis

I was raised in Lexington, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, rich in natural wonders and history. An eye for for detail and an appreciation of variety developed, as I explored the swamps, meadows and woods of my hometown. My love for nature and the arts began at a very young age.

During my teen years, I became discouraged about my dream of being an artist (visual, musical and martial).

The road, to this place and time in my life, has not been a straight and narrow path. Navigating through a variety of schools, working situations, dwelling places and relationships, I became a strong, creative, flexible, adaptable, and caring human being. I am thankful for the difficulty of the journey. These strengths serve me well. They were especially helpful when I taught elementary art at a school with children of diverse backgrounds. That was a time of great learning for me. I have over thirty years of work experience in a variety of fields.

Due to the abundance and variety of opportunities I've had to express my creativity, I consider myself wealthy. I am passionate about growing in love, wisdom, consciousness, and healing wholeness. I love people. I want to make a difference in the world. I believe we all can. It's obvious the planet needs some loving, isn't it? I put my whole heart into my work. Life and art are works in progress.

Peace! Paz! Shalom! T o the top
