Personal style begins to evidence itself early in some artist’s work.  Looking back at my color choices and painting style, even in the early teen years, I see muted, neutralized colors and a dramatic interpretation of subject.

My color choice still, 30 years later are muted and neutralized.  I strive for fluid flow of color and contrast of values in my work.  My favorite work , (transparent watercolor on 200 lb. Waterford paper), emerges from puddles, water blossoms, mist, spray and spontaneous strokes of the brush.    I want to capture a viewer by striking an emotional chord that takes them back or forward to a timeless memory of scent, color, warmth and relationships.   I cycle through my favored subject matter almost yearly; garden blooms, aged water vessels, stucco and tile street scapes and childhood adventures.
