Media: Transparent watercolor painting, and pen and ink drawing.
I live in San Francisco and paint in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I paint and draw en plein air in a spirit of spontaneity, play and celebration. I especially enjoy the camaraderie of painting with a group as we all interpret the world in our own, unique ways. I love the brilliancy of watercolor: light reflects back from the white paper through transparent paint, rather like stained glass.
I like contour drawing with pen and ink because it is so immediate and expressive. Drawing connects my hand directly to the subject matter, revealing aspects my eyes alone would have missed.
