I live, with my husband, on an Island in WA State. I walk the beaches, hike in the mountains among the trees, rivers and streams. I play golf, ride my bike and love to read.
My home and studio sit on a salt water lagoon. Sometimes I use a small kayak to experience quiet days on the water. But most of all I paint. I feel fortunate to have art in my life. When I am painting, I escape and lose myself in the creation. It's the best form of meditation I know. I work intuitively and experimentally so I don't always reach my goal, but if a successful painting is achieved, I've just won a prize. It's such a high.
I began painting with oil and then moved to pastels and finally settled in watercolor. Watercolor was my big love but now I have taken a turn in my art and am currently working with acrylic on board. I'm adding new surfaces to my art including textured paper, illustration board, canvas and wood.
I am a participating member of the annual "Camano Island Studio Tour" a Signature member of the Northwest Watercolor Society and juried member of Seattle Co-Arts and Camano Art Asoociation. |
