ABSTRACTIONS OF NATURE
I eliminate unessential details and use minimal representation in my abstractions. The organic, fluid style of my work suggests the changing natural landscape. My artistic journey has taken me beyond using transparent watercolor in a realistic manner, to a more contemporary, impressionistic and experimental style of painting.
About
NATURE - INSPIRED WATERCOLORS
Many of us love nature. We spend as much of our time as possible outdoors, or wishing we could. Our emotional connections and visual impressions of the natural world energize and refresh us.
Landscapes and seascapes are reflected in my watercolor paintings. Recalling my experiences in nature provides inspiration and content for my exploration of natural forms, colors, and textures.
My journey to become a watercolor artist began following a career as a Public School teacher. I am self-taught, and fortunate to have had 2 inspiring mentors. Experiencing nature is paramount to me, and I love of painting "en plein air." Those impressions often become the genesis for my abstractions.

I love painting outdoors –soaking up the patterns, colors, rhythms, and textures of the natural world. These “plein air” watercolors and my lifelong experiences in nature often provide the genesis for more abstract paintings. Rendering a quick impression allows me to simplify the composition and convey the essence of my inspiration. |
