Self-taught in sketching and painting with a strong interest in history, archaeology, and art, I studied watercolour in my later years under the tutelage of the late Elsie Grace, College of the Desert Hall of Fame teacher, and the late Jack Rowe, a member of the National Academy of Design and Signature Member of Watercolour West, in La Quinta and Palm Desert, California.

​

Along the way, in my life’s journey, I discovered through watermedia and acrylics, an awareness of the excitement and joy I feel when creating images through personal experiences and emotional responses together with landscape surroundings.  It became an integral part of my creative process, and, in awe, I am captivated by the uniqueness of moments in time and at the beauty of our vast and varying landscapes.

 

For the viewer, my desire is to inspire a visual response through the spectacular images, colours, designs, and sounds that surround us every day.
