The elusive and unpredictable nature of watercolor makes it both a challenge and a delight for me.  With watercolor, I am able to capture the essence of my subject.  I seek out both lost and found edges, intentionally balancing controlled definition to help you see with blurred edges to let you enter.  In this way, I invite the viewer to join me… to bring something of yourself to the work, to touch the paper with your experience, your memories, your story.

I’m a painter, but I begin each piece by drawing.  Using pencil or ink, I learn to “see” each subject before painting.  Once I have an understanding of the subject, I am set free to paint with spontaneity and joy!
