I always knew my destiny
was to be an artist.
I was fortunate to have parents who were talented and creative,
and encouraged my sisters and me to pursue the art world. My early
years as an illustrator taught me the rules of color, value, and
composition always apply to any
subject or style of painting. Watercolor captured my heart , and I never looked back. Watercolor
continues to fascinate and surprise me. It is a medium that allows
the spirit of the painting to thrive. What
thrills me most with every painting is watching the development and
transformation that take place.
Teaching is my other passion. In 1991 I opened Emerald Lake Art Academy,
in Redwood City, CA. Teaching 60 to 70 students a week ranging in age
from 6 to 86 years old. In 1999 I decided to paint full time, and to
instruct watercolor workshops. One of my goals was to be a published
artist. I have now met that goal and my book "Stunning Crystal and
Glass" Published by North Light Books is reaching aspiring artists
worldwide. Directly related to the release of my book, I was approached
by Teaching Art Ltd., in the UK to make my first instructional video.
Stay tuned for more...
