Painting tells a story. Sometimes it's a long story, almost a history book, in a painting. More often, it's a moment of amazing joyful beauty that now lives on forever.

Most of these stories are common to all of us. A flower glowing with color, the crashing of a wave on rocks, a hidden path in the forest, or the water lapping against a boat are simple things all humans know and feel joy in.

The best of life is made of simple moments of pleasure, not huge momentous events. As an artist, I capture those moments and put them on your wall. No matter how your day is going, my painting will take you to that exquisite moment of joy.

I have painted watercolor as long as I can remember. I am grateful that I can share this joy with others, through paintings and by teaching.

Watercolor paintings capture light in a way no other medium can. Their color is luminous, a richness and depth you can achieve no other way. You become part of the painting, watching it shift in the light as the colors change.
