PAINTER AND URBAN SKETCHER














WORK
I am first and foremost an admirer of art. I have great respect for anyone that works with their head, hands and heart to "create." Watercolor paintings specifically speak to me in a unique and compelling manner.
It was the summer of 2007 when I saw a small sign at a local art gallery announcing Saturday morning watercolor classes. I signed up and took to heart the advice of the teacher and fellow artist Jeanne Davis, who told me the secret was to "just paint." She gave me the confidence to continue to paint and learn from the many mistakes I've experienced along the way.
I get great satisfaction from completing pieces that really "work" for me.
I am a signature member of the Missouri Watercolor Society.
