Artist Statement 

My work is a continuous search for truth and meaning. Life’s ambiguity can be unsettling, and seeking truth amid deception often feels like an endless challenge. I deeply value honesty, straightforwardness, and fairness, yet these ideals are not always reflected in the world. Even in nature, camouflage reminds us that things are not always what they seem. My earlier works examined subjects visually while uncovering the stories beneath. I encourage viewers to look beyond the distractions of the everyday and find beauty and deeper meaning in unexpected places.

My latest work dives deeper into the daily camouflage we navigate. What is real, and what is not? Each piece tells its own story while leaving room for personal interpretation. Smoke is a recurring element, symbolizing veiled truths. My art serves as a refuge from the chaos of the world, offering familiar comforts and building connections in a reality shaped by technology.

My Story

I've been a professional artist for as long as I can remember, with a lifelong passion for creating art. From majoring in Fine Art to refining my skills while raising three children, I dedicated countless hours to painting and perfecting my craft. I gained recognition for my watercolor paintings, known for their unusual vantage points, and expanded my work into oil and sculpture, selecting the medium that best fits each concept.

Since 2001, I have sold my original paintings online, with my work now featured in private and permanent collections nationwide. My art has won awards in numerous national and international exhibitions and has appeared on the cover and in features for American Artist Magazine, Watercolor Artist, Southwest Art, and International Artist. My book, Watercolor Depth and Realism, was published by North Light Books in 2008, and I have also produced five instructional DVDs, including the two-DVD series Secrets in Watercolor with Artists Network TV.

Although I traveled the country for years teaching workshops and judging art shows, I scaled back on travel in 2014 to focus on my own artwork. Today, I regularly release new original paintings, sculptures, and fine art prints, including both open and limited editions. These are available for purchase here. I also specialize in custom paintings, working closely with clients and interior designers. If you have a specific project in mind, but don't see it listed, please contact me directly to discuss your vision.
