I'm
a watercolor artist who is fascinated with
color, composition and the play of light and
dark.
I take photos of the many places I have
traveled to: Europe, Egypt, China, and the
eastern United States. California is my home
so wine is also a theme in my work.
My style is very textural. I love the
challenge of painting wood, rocks and
buildings.
In my process, I build up many layers of
paint to achieve an effect that glows.
Watercolor allows me to be creative in my
process of paint application from bright,
loose under painting to tight, textural
brush strokes for the final layer. I paint
memories of places I have seen that evoke
the senses so that the viewer is also "in
the moment".
Hopefully, I have been successful in
capturing and conveying the essence of the
various places and subjects that I have
chosen to paint.
