My paintings are about joyful experiences. As a long time bird watcher, hiker and nature enthusiast, I love the challenge of capturing the essence of each little creature and enjoy painting each as a “portrait.” Birds, frogs, cats, chickens and people are often the subject on my easel, and are captured through the spontaneity of the dynamic medium of watercolor.
