Welcome to my home page. My watercolor paintngs come from deep within my heart. I am never satisfied with mediocrity and this value is reflected in the bold colors and values in my paintings.
I have engaged in several openended series of paintings that deal with the relsiliencies of children who have been rescued by adoption and foster care, those who have survived cancer, and those who are living lives of despiration as they recover from addictions.
My paintings deal with personal and family issues that are driven by the resilient strength of the human spirit.
My series of equestrian or western art themes celebrates the connection of horse and rider, and the drama of the rodeo. Horses are bold and beautiful, the arena is exciting and combining those elements takes us on a journey together that is filled with adventure and unexpected joy.
The Tuscan landscape tells a story of warm days spent relaxing with a cappuccino by the well in San Gimiangano while sharing interesting conversation.
Take a trip to the seashore in the light house series of paintings where these maritime icons give you a sense of place and feeling of wellness. They have weathered the worse storms and still stand to give us reference and point out the way to go.
The resilient spirit is one that has been conditioned and tested and drinks from the deep well of strength and focus. "it makes little difference how fast you can run 100 meters when the race is 400 meteres long. Life is not a sprint; it is a distance run, and it demands the kind of conditioning that enables people to go the distance." --Gordon MacDonald
