Artist’s Statement

From the time I was small, I enjoyed color and shape in the environment around me.  I work to fill my life with creativity, dynamism, learning and joy.   Painting with watercolors gives me joy and challenges me to be continually learning and growing.  I am always looking for new techniques, color combinations and subject matter.

 

Although I am always pleased when others enjoy my work, I paint for myself.   My goal is not to copy every detail of the scene but to show the essence of my subject and to convey how I feel about it.
