Since
childhood I have been
either drawing, coloring
or painting. Painting
gives me a sense of immense
satisfaction and joy.
My purpose in painting
is not only to bring me
joy but to bring joy to
others. Although I started
out drawing people, faces
and animals as a kid,
watercolor is my first
love.With watercolor you're
never sure how it's going
to look when it dries
and control is difficult.
Mistakes are often a good
thing. Watercolors are
unpredictable and that
is what I love about them.
I
like to paint BIG, BOLD
paintings of roses that
are detailed and vibrant.
I started creating these
big paintings about 12
years ago while still
living in Georgia. Before
college, I studied with
Ann Cockerill from Austell,
Georgia, an accomplished
watercolorist and teacher
who is a great inspiration
to me.
