“I decided to be a painter as soon as I took my first watercolor class. I loved painting at this initial encounter and still feel the same excitement every time I put brush to paper. I have been in the classroom for many years and I enjoy the stimulation of student interaction. Now retired, I take an occasional art lesson with the Friday Senior Center Art Group while continuing to paint for myself.”
“My current series is an exploration into a freer and more spontaneous response to watercolor. Prior to this series, I was doing very controlled, cerebral and patterned work. The moments I scrap pencil to paper, dip brush into gleaming paint and watch color slide down the paper, I know this is right for me.”
