Hello there!

After picking up a $5 watercolor set to pass time during the pandemic (that Crayola paints put to shame), little did I know that watercolor (and art in general) would begin consuming ALL of my time and brain space. I’ve always felt the urge to create, which in the past has left me with a revolving door of hobbies and overflowing craft closets, until watercolor became the first hobby in a long line to stick around.

As a perfectionist with unreasonable expectations, watercolor defeated me…it’s unpredictable, uncontrollable, constantly changing, and an unbelievably beautiful medium that I absolutely cannot resist using. Watercolor has challenged everything I thought about creativity, art, and self-expression. No other mediums compare in my estimation (though that hasn't stopped me from purchasing and painting with gouache, acrylics, water-soluble oils….and any other item available in our local art supply store).

My dog Dolly and fiance Jimmy were my first two models, and feature in every other page of my sketchbook. Whether I draw them out of love or convenience… we will never know! Otherwise, I enjoy drawing and painting a variety of subjects. While figures and animals are my favorite subjects (as my first two models also suggest), I enjoy loose florals and all things nature from time to time as well.

Art has become a meditative life-giving practice for me, so whatever utensil is in hand and subject is on paper, I will be happy. Thanks for taking a look at my art!
