About Me

I love to paint in watercolor and I hope that joy and energy flows throughout my work. Interpreting light, colors, shadows, and mood are fascinating to me.  I want to have fun, to solve problems and to experiment when I plan a painting and when I paint.   “What if…?” Is a question I often ask myself.  I love the transparency of watercolor. I like to play with pigment and allow watercolors to interact on paper, to splatter, and to drip. The fluidity of watercolor inspires me to allow my paintings to be alive with discoveries - sometimes disastrous and sometimes delightful. A looser, more impressionistic quality is often present with a variety of soft and hard edges. To encourage the viewer's imagination, some things are intentionally a little "lost", juxtaposed with other identifiable images.

Recently I have been using beeswax as a protection for my watercolors.  I don’t miss the reflection or the glare the glass!

I am a lifelong painter who began in oils. The work of Nan White, a local artist from North Conway, NH. inspired me to begin my watercolor journey.   In 2007 I experienced a wave of courage.  I dug my art work out from under the bed and have been exhibiting ever since. From 2007-2015 I enjoyed many opportunities to exhibit watercolors in solo and group exhibitions throughout Mt. Washington Valley and in Bridgton, ME. Gallery 302 in Bridgton was home for my art.

I currently reside in Wiscasset, Maine, where my husband and I enjoy the tranquility of four seasons on Chewonki Creek.  My art is exhibited at Pemaquid Art Gallery in New Harbor, ME.  www.pemaquidartgallery.com.  The gallery is open seasonally.  With its rockbound shore and lighthouse, Pemaquid Point is an ongoing everchanging inspiration for expression – as are many Maine sites.  Interested viewers are invited to make an appointment to see my art in my home.
