When sunlight catches an ordinary object just so, or when a special color resonates with my soul — that’s what inspires me. Those unexpected moments that reach out and grab your attention and that demand to be painted! I use a variety of professional grade transparent watercolors to achieve rich, vibrant watercolor paintings that glow with color and light.

Originally self-taught, I have taken workshops from well-known artists including Paul Jackson and Janine Helton. I am a Signature Member of the Northwest Watercolor Society and active in the Peninsula Art League and Gig Harbor Open Studio Tour.
