Art has always been part of my life experiences. As an artist I have never wanted to be “pigeonholed” into one style. As a scenic artist I have
always interpreted the theatrical style the scenic designer wanted to represent. As a fine artist I try to interpret my mood and feelings of the
moment I experienced. I want my watercolors to have something new to say to the viewer. I believe the viewer will experience the painting and
feel the story of the moment as I did when I painted it. I want my art to evoke an emotion that helps you take the journey with me to that place into
that world.
My studio is the ever-changing world around me. I am an avid bicyclist, swimmer and walker. I do long distance bike trips and paint and
photograph as I go. I love visiting noisy cities, quiet country spots and bustling streets. Every day is a different experience, a new world to live in
the moment. My work is always created from the occasion that makes it unique and with its own particular style. The style is a product of the time
and place. The versatility lets me work in all mediums and time periods.
My past experience as a theatrical set and lighting designer has allowed me to incorporate my knowledge of light and shadow, large and small-
scale objects, textures and colors to culminate in the artistic experience I want the viewer to enjoy. My motivation for continuing to paint is for
both you and I to escape for a moment to another place and find joy in imagining the moment together. Painting makes me want to be young
again. I have everything to learn and nothing I ever want to forget.
