Welcome to my blog about art, life and being an artist.

I have been blessed to follow my passion and dream as a professional artist.  It has been a road of good times and not so pleasant times.

The desire to paint and create runs through my veins and is an essential part of my life.

I will share my studio experiences with you working on my current art projects.  I am primarily a painter working in watercolor and oils.

I recently switched back to painting in oils last week.  I have three main subjects I am interested in painting.  The first is the Women’s Series which I try to translate into women of strength and character.

The second is the Urban Landscape Series.  I love architecture and feel the need to document our vanishing historical buildings around the area I live. 

The third of the series are the Still Life paintings.  I love to practice drawing from real life, not from photos.  This exercise gives me the opportunity to paint objects I collect and to strengthen my drawing skills.  This is a never ending lesson.  Practice makes a stronger artist and painter.
