The union of motion and color has always been an important part of my being. Like music, it evokes feelings and emotions. My watercolors are a reflection, from my heart, of my feelings and emotions.
Each painting is an adventure that unfolds before my eyes...it is very exciting for me. My brush moves effortlessly over the paper and the colors burst forth.
Happiness, for me , is sitting at my easel in my studio with my paintings, music playing as I paint and the hours melt away.
The characters that appear become my new friends, and my life becomes fuller. Watercolors are my joy and delight!!!
