I am exploring the exciting mediums of watercolor, liquid acrylic and collage
using direct painting and mixed media to capture an idea. Many subjects
interest me, and I try to emphasize a mood or what seems compelling or
unique. Most intriguing is the abstract work in which layering creates
windows into the surface of the painting, suggesting but not defining. I also
enjoy experimenting with color to see how certain combinations set up a
vibrancy. Successful paintings happen when everything works. They are the
product of years of thought and practice and a few hours of inspiration.
My background is a BA in Art and Education, University of Puget Sound;
an MA in Creative Expression and Elementary Education, University
of Hawaii. I studied at the Corcoran in D.C., have
one year toward an MA in Art at Georgetown University, and have
taken countless workshops.
