I can not remember when I wasn’t interested in drawing, painting and creating art. While painting I strive to express my feelings about the day, the light and my subject in each painting. I paint in my studio and also plein air. Currently, watercolor is my favorite focus. I enjoy its fluid transparent qualities and work to explore the medium to better express myself through color, shape and form.
Living on the Central Coast provides me with diverse venues to paint, wonderful mentors and great art friends. Many of the pieces displayed in my profile are from plein air painting with friends or sketches done on location. I hope the viewer can feel the mood and atmosphere of each day, the personality of each subject and the joy I feel when painting.
