ARTIST BIO
& STATEMENT
Even though I didn't start watercolor painting until the end of my real estate career I am enjoying it immensely. Since retirement I have had more fun than ever.
I work out of my home studio located south of Molalla, Oregon on a 50 acre farm with an incredible view of neighboring towns and four snow capped mountains. I share this with my husband Jim, three cats, two dogs, assorted cows, and my mother. My mother and granddaughter have both found themselves as subjects in some of my paintings!
I have been drawing ever since I can remember. As an adult I did some work with pastels and pencil. Then I discovered watercolor! I enjoy the sheer quality of the medium. I use the traditional transparent technique, with no white paint, only white paper and no black paint only colors mixed from what is in the painting.
As much thought goes into a piece as the actual painting itself. That planning, mulling over and re-hashing help me to decide how the painting will actually develop.
It is still exciting to start a painting and it is still hard work to keep going until it is finished. As long as the subject is interesting to me, I can paint it!
