"Wet-in-wet watercolor technique always produces surprises. The loose-flowing spontaneity of pigment moving with water is why I fell in love with it 30 years ago."
After painting in acrylic and oil in the early part of my career, I was ready to diversify. The excitement the medium provides has been a constant inspiration. A new direction has been the addition of chalk pastels in landscapes worked onto the watercolor surface thus giving a visual sense of luminosity. Literally, I was expanding my horizons. Painting subjects are varied: landscapes en plein air (painting on location), still life, figure and floral. I like to keep mixing it up, enjoying the stimulation of diversity.
After earning a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, NYC, I freelanced and worked on staff in the design field concentrating on book design, logo and corporate identity and most recently, interiors. I enjoy sharing my love of painting and have given watercolor workshops at Cornell University and taught for years with galleries in the Hudson Valley. My pieces are included in a number of private collections in Europe and South America and throughout this country.
As an active member of North East Watercolor Society, Garrison Art Center, Pascack Art Association, and Orange County Arts Council I demonstrate and exhibit widely and have been in many solo and group showings. Past exhibits include New York Botanical Gardens, Cork Gallery at Lincoln Center and Applewood Winery in Warwick.
