In my 'previous lives' I was an elementary school teacher, an administrative secretary, and a landlady who did the cleaning and the painting. One summer I picked up a watercolor brush, and now I paint in a whole new way. I was captured by the flow of water and color on paper. Acrylics on canvas have been added to my repertoire along with my beloved watercolors. I have studied with world famous artists such as Lian Zhen, Judy Morris, and Charles Reid. My first solo show this past year was at Nevado Gallery, where my work is hanging in Camas, Washington. I won Members' Choice Award and First Place in shows by the Southwest Washington Watercolor Society, and received Best of Show at the first annual Camas Wine Art and Music Festival. My work has been featured in magazines and newspapers and framed pieces hang in homes across the United States. My work is represented by Nevado Gallery, 428 NE 4th Ave., Camas, WA 98607. I have a duo show opening October 3 at the gallery. I also do commissioned works.
