ARTIST STATEMENT
My curious watercolors focus on rock cairns, natural subjects, and pathways that combine intimate foreground details with a looser, soft landscape. Due to Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, I recently switched from walnut oil to watercolor which I varnish. Although I needed to change directions, I can continue on my path creating the art I love.
A subject that fills my heart are stacked stones that I set in a misty landscape along with natural elements. They act as friends guiding the way through the mystery of life. My work highlights the choices made in life to courageously do what’s in your heart and go your own way even if you don’t always know where you will end up. With belief in yourself and in the process, you will get where you need to be.
These gemlike reminders encourage you to find your way when you feel lost, and really believe in yourself to confidently choose your own path. When you feel rock solid enough to take chances and trust the unknown, there’s always a way forward.
