About the Artist:

Paints with watercolor and acrylic.

“Water and paint carrying a message. Subjects are often spiritual, sometimes abstract, depicting nature.”

I began finding mature artists whose work I liked and learning how I could study with them. Eliot O’Hara, Rex Brandt, Ed Whitney were early teachers in workshops. Then I discovered a teacher in Europe, Liane Collot d’Herbois and I waited until my four children were able to be on their own, and I set out to find Collot. After five years of back and forth to Holland I began giving workshops on her technique, entering shows and winning awards. I continued learning at 3-week Myrtle Beach, S.C. workshops, mostly watermedia. Then, in 2005 I moved to Mexico and exhibited with Ajijic Society of Artists and the Lake Chapala Painting Guild.
