About the author: I begin my watercolor paintings with an idea and a drawing. I build the painting layer by layer, drawing lines and shapes, looking for rhythm and feeling. My color sense is a reflection of my childhood in New Mexico fused with colors of my home in the Northwest. My goal is to go beyond the surface to find joy, wonder and a bit of mystery. I have shown my works in galleries, juried, group and solo shows in Washington, Oregon, Montana and New Mexico. My paintings are in private collections in the west, New York and Norway.

With this article, I’ll also be current in posting […]

Four on the Fourth Happy July Fourth! For day four of #WorldWatercolorMonth, I thought it would be fun to do something in keeping with our American Independence Day celebration.
