I am surrounded by a panorama of beautiful landscapes and
subjects where I live in rural southern Missouri.  The changing
of the seasons, dramatic skies, pastoral surroundings rouse
in me a desire to communicate what I see.  I give priority to
beauty.  My goal is that my paintings will reflect the joy
inherent in everyday life and that the viewer will share the
experience.



I love the luminosity of watercolor and the way the colors
mingle together on the paper.  Rather than mixing paint on
my palette, I usually apply paint directly to the paper,
allowing the colors to combine there. My technique involves
layering glazes of transparent color, resulting in a fresh,
radiant color passages.
