Watercolor is my passion! My work encompasses a wide variety of subject matter, watercolor techniques and styles. The use of these wide varieties keeps my paintings fresh and enables me to capture a vast collection of moods and atmosphere from the warmth and charm of an old farmhouse to bold contrast between land, water, and sky. I have over 40 years of professional teaching and painting experience and throughout my art career I have earned a few top honors in the region. I am also a watercolor and drawing instructor in the Special Studies Program at Chautauqua Institution and at the Erie Art Museum. Finally--Art is a gift from God. A gift He has given me from the very beginning of my life which allows me to see the wonder and the beauty in His creation, find respite from the storms in life, experience peace and joy in creating art and to share it with others.
