ARTIST STATEMENT:

Although I only began to paint a few years ago, the simple beauty of watercolor paintings has always intrigued me. The vibrancy and the movement and blending of color on the paper and the use of unpainted areas to represent white are unique to watercolor art and present some of the greatest challenges. I enjoy creating moods of quiet beauty with contrasting light and dark in my paintings. 

Having grown up in New England, I was exposed to the blaze of colors that covers the countryside in autumn and to the blue-green ocean along the rugged New England coast.
