     Having spent many years as a jewelry designer, my transition to watercolor painting has been an exciting challenge. Taking courses and workshops with both local and nationally prominent artists, I have gradually developed the skills I need. Recently, I discovered real joy in creating abstract paintings. For me, the creation of something totally original gives great satisfaction, and best utilizes my basic talent as a designer.
   Inspiration for my work comes primarily from nature. Much of my work has an organic feel, and I usually let the painting evolve by allowing colors to blend, taking full advantage of the spontaneity of watercolors. I try to create depth of color and develop an interesting design. I like to project an atmosphere of mystery, sometimes a touch of realism. I prefer to leave it to you, the viewer, to interpret and hopefully find it stimulating and enjoyable.
    I use professional grade artists paints on 140lb or 300lb watercolor paper or canvas. On occasion, I combine acrylics if it achieves the desired results.  I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed creating it
