About

As an artist, I am influenced by the beauty of the movement of watercolor paint and the spontaneity achieved with the mixture of water and its unexpected meanderings across the paper.

I was born in Cleveland, Ohio, but lived in the tropical beauty of South Florida for over 40 years, and am currently residing in Surf City, North Carolina. I am Inspired by bold colors of tropical landscapes, oceans, waves, coastal beauty, birds, and our beloved pets. I seek to portray a laid-back attitude and a loose and free technique in my paintings. I started painting in watercolors in 2011, attended workshops and classes, and still learning the endless techniques available with this medium.

My goal with painting is to capture the beauty, or the emotion of the subject, in hopes to let the viewer take themselves away for a minute…
