$175
PAINTING IS AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY THAT I HAVE BEEN ON SINCE I WAS A CHILD. I GRADUATED FROM SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT COLLEGE WITH A DEGREE IN ART AND TEACHING AND HAD FUN COMBINING TEACHING WITH A CREATIVE APPROACH FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS. I HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS SPENDING SPRING AND SUMMER IN CONNECTICUT AND LATE FALL AND WINTER IN FLORIDA.
I ENJOY PAINTING TRANSPARENT WATERCOLORS AND CHOOSE NOT TO USE BLACK OR WHITE PAINT. I LOVE THE PROCESS OF APPLYING LAYERS OF WASHES AND ENJOY THE WONDERFUL MOVEMENT OF WATER AND PAINT THAT ONLY WATERCOLORS ALLOW.
NATURE IS A CONSTANT INSPIRATION IN MY LIFE AS WELL AS IN MY PAINTINGS. I FEEL BLESSED THAT THE MEDIUM OF WATERCOLOR ALLOWS ME TO EXPRESS AND CAPTURE A SMALL PART OF THE BEAUTY THAT SURROUNDS US ALL.
