My love of animals and nature has inspired and directed my life and work as an artist. I strive to capture the personality and character of each animal or person in my work. There is nothing like a front porch in the summer with inviting chairs, children and their imagination, or a still life that creates a mood.
One of the most important processes for creating a watercolor painting is to replicate the shadows of light and dark as it falls on the subject. All of the patterns and designs become important in creating the mood and character in the painting. I see my subjects in a more graphic sense. I try to simplify them, yet capture their essence. My unique style of painting is to not hold back. I want to enjoy the potential of the medium through the use of full color and crisp edges in creating my compositions.
I hope that while you view my work you feel the love and inspiration that I have for my subjects and my medium.
