Artist’s Statement
Watercolors and oils are my preferred mediums. I like to record the people and places around me.
I sketch daily and often create new challenges for myself. Sometimes these challenges are frustrating,
but often they are magical. I feel it is important to keep learning, stretching, and improving.
