She took oil painting classes and sold a few paintings when her children were young. One of her earliest influences was Vincent Van Gogh. After seeing a Van Gogh exhibit in 1970, Orma was inspired to paint thickly textured paintings. She experimented with a palette knife to achieve the effect she was looking for.  However, career and other life obligations kept her from completely focusing on her love of art. It would be 20 years before Orma rediscovered it. On a trip to France, Orma visited Monet's garden at Giverny. It was there she met an art instructor and enrolled in his class. She spent two weeks painting in Monet's garden and around Giverny. It was the inspiration she needed to develop an art career in her retirement years.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id10.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Originals">Originals</A>    <A HREF="id8.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Prints">Prints </A>   <A HREF="id9.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Sculpture">Sculpture</A>  <A HREF="id85.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Newport Showcased Artist">Showcased Artist </A></div> <div> <A HREF="id3.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Newport Art Gallery">Art Gallery </A>   <A HREF="id2.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="About Us">About Us</A>   <A HREF="id5.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact Us">Contact Us</A>   <A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="SHELDON FINE ART">Home</A></div> <bR> <div> Sheldon Fine Art, 59 America's Cup Avenue, Newport RI 02840</div> <div> Sheldon Fine Art,  5th Avenue South, Naples Florida 34102</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
