Welcome

Whether working on a still life, a landscape, or a portrait, my focus is always on capturing the play of light and shadow on my subject. I am always reluctant to lay out any very dark areas when I begin because watercolor is such a permanent medium, so I work in layers until I have a nice contrast between lights and darks. For me, it is a challenge to avoid overworking a painting. I have to remind myself that a painting is more effective when it leaves something to the imagination. I am inspired by the work of my watercolor teachers, Shannon Bickford and the late Kit Kittenger, and am constantly striving to improve my craft by studying the work of other contemporary watercolorists.
