I enjoy observing and painting everyday life.  It keeps my eyes and my mind open – makes me more aware of the beauty of life around me.  While I’m painting people, I see their stories unfold for me.  I love capturing this in my paintings. My paintings are inspired by the many pictures I have taken all across the country – of the people in the cities, countryside, small towns, beaches, mountains, and rivers, as well as the flora and fauna of the different parts of the country.  The immediate visual impact of a painting is very important to me – the combination of color harmonies and a strong abstract design– so I spend a lot of time planning before I ever begin to paint.  This frees me to have fun during the painting process and to take advantage of all the benefits of painting in watercolor.

I enjoy the whole process, from the drawing on the paper or board, to the first loose wet-in-wet washes of watercolor pigment, to the many transparent layers of color applied, to the adding of texture and glazes, to those final touches of dark values and intense color.  I know a piece is finished when I’ve successfully captured the color and energy of the scene.  I know a piece has turned out well if I’m as excited with the final painting as I was at its beginning.  And, each finished painting is sort of a prelude to the next one.

When people see my work, I’d like them to be welcomed by the paintings and to become involved with them.  I want the public to see something more in the paintings each time they’re viewed.  I love it when people feel a connection and see things in my paintings that I didn’t even see. The light, color, and vibrant glow of these scenes of American life all contribute to this inviting feel.
