Artist Statement
"I have loved art and creating things for as long as I can remember. My creativity has taken many forms throughout my life. Due to several life-altering events and much encouragement from my family, I decided to try watercolor. After only one lesson I knew, that I found something special. Expressing myself through watercolor is at once satisfying and challenging—a learning process, unpredictable and liberating. Familiar things become fascinating—vivid colors, intricate details, light and shadows. My great escape." Commissions are accepted.
