| I have been involved in one art form or another for the past 12 years. I have a love for all the arts and have found photography and ceramic sculpture to be very exciting to work in for my previous more figurative work. I still love to work in an abstract fashion and have found my love of animals and design to be a great combination. Watercolor painting has been a wonderful medium for this subject matter. I start with the drawing of the animal and then design the pattern as I paint using colors that help to represent the personality or spirit of the animal.
I have studied with artists in both California and Oregon and have found my home to be in Oregon where I have taught art at Southern Oregon University, Rogue Community College and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. I had my first one woman show in 1999 and have been accepted into Art and Bloom art festival from 2002-2005 and have received several awards for my work. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I do. |
