sitemap A Passion for Painting
"Art has been the template to my greatest life experiences. I am motivated and deeply inspired by the nature I find around me. I've learned to look deeply into my subjects to discover the minute details that absolutely thrill me, so my viewers can also enjoy the beauty that by just glancing they would miss. I see far more than I am able to put onto paper, which keeps me passionate about my work, and inspired to see more and paint more."

Painting with Passion
"Watercolor is my choice of medium, and up-close flowers are my favorite subject. Watercolor lends itself to the subtle and delicate beauty of flower petals. I love to put them against a dark, rich background. It creates drama and pops the blossoms. I always look for a way to catch the light - that magical time just before sunset, or backlighting that is best in the early morning light. I use transparent layers of color to slowly build up the values, sometimes painting wet-into-wet and sometimes wet-into dry. Playing with warm and cool colors allows for visual excitement, but the most exciting part is leaving the white!"
