I enjoy expressing myself through watercolor, because I have no fears about what the paint might do on the paper–where it might go, boundaries it might cross, as well as borders that may form and intrude.

My paintings are to be enjoyed and celebrated for the pleasure involved in their creation in the hope that pleasure can be passed on to others. 


My work has been shown in galleries, appeared in magazines, and is in the homes of art collectors around the world.
