Watercolor, Gouache and Acrylic

“WOW! I can’t believe that’s watercolor!” That’s probably what I hear most often about my work, and it delights me every time. Even though I utilize considerable wet-into-wet methods in my work, there is nothing wishy washy about the depth of color I reach for in each piece. My palettes are bold and encompass a full range of values from the stark whiteness of the paper to rich, powerful blacks.

As an outdoor gal myself, my subject matter is often inspired from nature, most especially, water. I continually search for ways to invite the unexpected into my work, through color, composition and a combination of techniques. I paint intuitively, always pushing myself to try new things and teach my students how to take risks and create fearlessly. I believe that making art is not just a mastery of technique, but something that comes through you almost effortlessly when you can get out of your head and let things naturally flow.
