Art has always been an integral part of my life.  I love the outdoors, to be in nature and to explore old and new places.  My paintings reflect where I have been and what I saw - a snapshot that will keep a scene alive forever,  instead of just a fleeting glimpse and a memory that in short time grows dim and blurry.  I love to work with watercolors for their luminosity, transparency and the visual effects that can be created.  Sunlight reveals nature's richest colors, and to capture that light is what watercolorists strive for. Hopefully my paintings will stir your own memories.
