Artist Statement:
For as long as I can remember,
art has been my passion. My
excitement and love for
watercolor began 30 years ago
and is renewed every day due
to the ever-present element of
surprise during every painting
session. I seek out
opportunities to share my
skills and knowledge in an
effort to smooth the
‘watercolor path’ for others.
I have a broad interest for
subject matter and describe my
paintings as realistic. The
basics of watercolor combined
with using the paper for
‘white’, excites and
challenges me. For Studio work
I prefer 140 lb Cold Press
‘Arches Watercolor Paper,
stretched & mounted;
preferred paints are Holbein,
Daniel Smith, and Winsor
Newton; my John Pike palette
is currently in its 27th year
of use. En Plein Aire, my
support is 300 lb Cold Press
‘Arches, unmounted, and a
Holbein-type folding palette.

Background
A native Texan with 2 Cherokee grandmothers, my artistic talent became evident at an early age. I was encouraged by family and teachers from elementary school until graduation from High School. In a career span of 33 years, my proficiency in watercolor has been achieved as a result of my dedication, an intense desire to learn, and through workshops offered by nationally known Watercolorists including Jane Jones, Jan Kuntz, Tom Lynch and the late Irving Shapiro. I occasionally work with Acrylics, embracing its versatility, when combined with watercolor techniques. My second medium is Egg Tempera.
