Since retirement I have devoted full time to painting and teaching. I teach a watercolor class and a calligraphy class each week at Winter Light Gallery in Greensboro, a coop gallery where I share studio space with 13 artists (click here for class descriptions).
Painting is my passion, and I paint for the process. To me, the medium is mysterious and exciting, and creating art is about the basic need to experiment with the process. I love making art and watching colors mingle and glow. My paintings are not always representational, but rather expressions of the subject or scene. Taking liberties with color and choosing interesting subject and shapes are the methods I use in striving to capture the feeling for subject, rather than a description. My work is primarily in watercolor but I have a great love for oils as well.
