I fell in love with watercolor about 20 years ago and since then it has become my main medium used to produce my art work. I teach and paint in my studio in Healdsburg, California, a small town located in Sonoma County’s wine country. I try hard to convey a personal feeling and a private message to those who view my art. My painting’s subjects are about everything that interests me: flowers, people, animals and boats. I love design, color, texture, and the spontaneity of the watercolor medium.
