“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”
Allowing my surroundings to inspire the creative process guides my choice of soft transparent watercolor, or the bold brush strokes of oils. As a child I found joy in all forms of creative play beginning with my first watercolor set given to me during a memorable visit with my older sister. It was at this early age I fell in love with the creative process that has blossomed into a passion over the years.
I am very fortunate to have my studio in my home where my surroundings are an enormous source of inspiration. My art studio is a renovated greenhouse used by a previous owner, an avid gardener who loved to cultivate camilla plants. Gardeners, like artist use their creative process to bring joy to others. I am honored to be able to blend both my love of flowers and sharing my creative journey in the same space he created close to 100 years ago.
