I began painting late in life and have some, though little, regard for rules in art. My recent life as an artist began around 2003. I had always had a yearning for watercolors and pottery. I am lucky enough to have been able to do both. I spent most of that creative time in Asheville NC. In 2017 I moved to Washington DC. Here I have let pottery go and focused on watercolors.
Art represents freedom to me—as much as I can bring to my work. I am for the most part self-taught and don’t pay a lot of attention to the work of other artists. I want to preserve my own vision. At the core of all of my work is the desire to make a connection with the viewer. My hope is that the emotions driving my creativity reach out and touch others. For me that completes the process.
