Statement

I have been drawing, painting and creating throughout my life.. After working as a licensed California architect, I returned to my  passion of painting and drawing through classes at the Pacific Art League and various workshops in California New Mexico., and New Orleans.

I love the enigmatic nature and beauty of watercolor, but am currently enjoying mixing mediums to create interesting textures.
​From my architecture training, Im drawn to urban scenes, but I'm also drawn to unique lighting and textures found in nature.
