Some of my watercolors can be very realistic others quite abstract. And, some have multiple images to create either a sense of place or tell a story. I often start with a collage created from scraps of paper or photographs. A drawing is made from the collage and transferred to watercolor paper. Then the fun begins. Pouring vibrant layers of transparent paint I am able to build depth while retaining the glow of the original paper.

My time is shared between Los Altos and the mountains of Ebbetts Pass, California where my husband and I have a year-round cabin. The rugged Sierra landscape provides the space and solitude that allow me to return to the studio creatively recharged.
