All Original Art

I am a watercolorist who also paints in acrylics, oil pastel and mixed media. My newest love is plein air (painting in “open air”, not in the studio). Most of my paintings are from my own garden, community, and other natural settings.

I appreciate realistic paintings, but always find myself trying to create a mood, an impression, rather than real life. I like the play of light on objects, especially at night. I love its reflection, shadows, and hidden places.

I am proud to be a signature member of the Illinois Watercolor Society
