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.
