The Artist about herself

All my life, I have lived in a world filled with creativity and art. I have had wonderful teachers who showed me the magic of being creative. Being expressive through various avenues, including drawing, painting, ceramics, textile, and other crafts. Their guidance inspired me to continue to pursue my artistic endeavors. In recent years, I have participated in numerous workshops taught by prominent watermedia artists. As a result, my work, like the creative environment I live in, continues to evolve.

In 1989, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I was devastated when I heard the news. While I was undergoing several operations and radiation, I began to explore watercolor and watermedia work. In 1994, treatments ended. I feel confident that I have overcome the disease.  In the process, I have gained a new perspective on what is truly meaningful to me. Now, I worry less about trivial things and enjoy the present which includes continuing to explore the endless possibilities of watercolor, watermedia, and collage.

Gardening is also one of my interests which is probably why most of my paintings are of botanical subjects. I feel that the bright colors, beautiful transparencies, and textures inherent in watermedia and collage give life and emotion to my work.

Maui Protea

Maui Protea is an original watercolor painting. I was using a watercolor lifting technique in the background of the image. It is a cool technique where the paint is lifted from the paper using a stencil and so it created a bit of texture which worked out well for the overall unification and effect.
