While studying to become an art teacher I took a class in watercolor painting. I found it fascinating the way water moved and mixed the transparent colors to form unusual patterns and textures. I thought at that point, someday I would try to master watercolor painting.

Fast forward forty years later.  The year is 2015.   My career in management consulting up to this point did not allow much time for hobbies.  I bought some paint, brushes and paper and enrolled in a beginner’s watercolor painting class.  The moment I created my first wash, I was “hooked.”

I specialize in creating stunning portraits that capture the unique expressions and emotions of my subjects. With a passion for experimentation and a dedication to my craft, I paint almost every day, continuously refining my techniques and exploring new color mixes to bring my art to life.

I find myself looking back to college days when I had plans to be an art teacher.  Now I am teaching watercolor painting.  I got pulled into teaching classes and workshops by friends who wanted me to show them how I painted.  I now teach a weekly watercolor class live and via Zoom.  I conduct demos and workshops throughout the year.   

I love teaching and welcome anyone to call or write with any assistance I can be to them.
