NATURE - INSPIRED WATERCOLORS
Many of us love nature. We spend as much of our time as possible outdoors, or wishing we could. Our emotional connections and visual impressions of the natural world energize us.
Landscapes and seascapes are reflected in my watercolor paintings. Recalling my experiences in nature provides inspiration and content for my exploration of natural forms, colors, and textures.
My journey to become a watercolor artist began following a career as a public school teacher. I am self-taught, and fortunate to have had 2 inspiring mentors. Experiencing nature is paramount to me, and I love of painting "en plein air." Those impressions become the genesis for my abstractions. I enjoy the possibilities of working on Yupo, a synthetic paper.
