Drawing and painting became a passion for me at an early age. Although I am self taught I did take an art class in Hi-school and a semester in college. I am fascinated by the unpredictable nature of watercolor as a medium. I enjoy the drips, unexpected puddles and surprises. I find watercolor to be both exciting and freeing. I love painting requests and feel I have a broad range of subject matter since I do many commission pieces which I enjoy as they take me out of my normal range.
I am drawn to everything in nature from animals, florals, the ocean and have also completed a series of bohemian women.
I paint with abandon and play with abstracts as well as modern and pop art. I am always thrilled when my clients feel what I Feel when I paint my pieces. I am also told my paintings are many times nurturing, healing, ethereal.
I have found painting is a way for me to express my feeling, emotions and life experiences.
