...I began painting in 1999 by taking a watercolor class at the local library. I was hooked, instantly, and took every class and workshop I could find. I now teach that class, hoping to spread my enjoyment and enthusiasm for watercolor to others.

...I have taken my own art to new levels by switching from realism to abstraction, and adding mixed media and collage. I still take the occasional class or workshop, but only if it offers me new insight into technique or design.

...I work intuitively, beginning my pieces without knowing what they will be. Some become florals, others landscapes and some are simply non-objective abstracts.

...I hope my viewers find my work new and exciting and spend the time to take in the nuances of each piece, as there is usually something more there than first meets the eye.
