Artist Statement:

I spent some time today slowly sifting through my watercolors…Smiling to myself as I realized that I created far more than I thought I had over my busy summer months. Mostly saltwater inspired, waves and lines of tide make a strong appearance in the collection, as well as striations of green mixed among the layered painted Hosta leaves….I do love them so. There are figurative works too… a few nudes, some fashion illustrations and the always present seashell or feather in the mix. Soft, natural organic…qualities that are consistently present in my art…it’s what I am drawn to, after all.
