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.

Hi! Recently, my younger sister Dorothy sent me some images of artwork by my Dad, artist John Stermer. And, the drawings and painting included goats. So, on my Father’s Facebook page (John Stermer Fine Art), I shared some of the goats. They are so much fun to look at. And, one of my friends thought […]

It has been a busy year so far! I have been doing some volunteer work with the Watercolor Society of Oregon, for example. Plus, I took artist Sarah F. Burns‘ “Anatomy for Artists” drawing class. The class was intense, challenge and wonderful; a good learning experience. But, no matter how busy I get, I keep […]

Well, all sorts of silly responses bounced around my head. For instance, what if the egg were a dinosaur egg and the […]
