My Creative Spirit: "I embody the Renaissance ideal of an artist, working in every medium with skill, intelligence and passion."
~ Pablo Picasso

As a creative person, I cannot work in only one medium. Although my focus is on watercolor painting, I also work in oil, acrylic, gouache, serigraphy and ceramics. I not only paint on paper, I also paint on furniture and walls. I have been commissioned to do art pieces ranging from house and barn portraits, business signs, painted furniture, to murals of birds on a kitchen wall, and fruits and vegetables on a produce barn. My work is as realistic as a photograph or as abstract as just shapes. I work in both forms; I need the structure and the spontaneity.
