Description Here's a digital watercolor print of the beautiful Michigan City East Pierhead Light on Lake Michigan in Michigan City, Indiana. My favorite element of this piece is the shadowing cast onto the white wall by the elevated walkway.

Artist Statement As a young girl growing up in northern Indiana, I was greatly influenced by my father, who was a professional photographer. That influence, coupled with my artistic ability, would resurface years later after I received my BA majoring in Fine Arts from Indiana University. I spent most of the next ten years as a computer graphics artist, specializing in speaker-support presentations, medical illustration and graphic design.


While studying 3D computer graphics and animation in Canada, I met the man who would become my husband, Brian MacGowan. As a computer graphics artist with extensive training in photography, he has provided me with much insight into the quirks and foibles of computer graphics on nearly a daily basis.


I once again embraced my early love of photography while I was on a career hiatus for motherhood. Digital photography, along with computer graphics, now enable me to artistically enhance my photos, resulting in the illusion of a painterly effect when viewed either onscreen or as a print.


After fifteen years of living in Canada, I currently resides once more in northern Indiana, along with Brian and our two daughters.
