STATEMENT
Nature is my main interest, having a personal connection with the subject is also important. I like to portray people, animals, flowers and trees. As an artist I favor skill, beauty and a sense of humor. Love the transparent and the uncontrollable qualities of watercolor. Also do other media, such as acrylic, mix media, collage and do sidewalk pastel portraits.
