Artist Statement
I love the transparency of watercolor and painting Plein Air is my passion. I am an observer of life searching for natural arrangements in nature or in manmade environments, this stems from a career as an architectural renderer.
My curiosity drives me.
I am a storyteller and every painting has an intent.
