ABOUT THE ARTIST

I love to capture moments in watercolor.  Whether an old barn, a beloved family pet, fishermen on a pier or children on the beach, I believe there is a personal story to be told through color, motion and character.

When I paint, I love a big, water-filled brush and an abstract, fresh, fluid feel to my work.  The simple look of an eye, a wag of a tail or even just a carefully placed, color-filled brush stroke can showcase the narrative of a piece and hopefully entice the viewer to return for another look.   And if one looks very closely, they will also find a surprise bit of whimsy in each of my paintings.  As part of my signature, I hide a paintbrush in every piece - something my kids told me to do years ago!

I have painted throughout Virginia and the Outer Banks and have buyers from Boston to South Carolina.  Before the Covid crisis, I was an instructor with the Midlothian Art Academy in Richmond, Virginia.  As the studio has recently closed, I am now offering personalized watercolor instruction online via Zoom.
