The translucent quality of watercolor lets the paper reflect light to create an inner glow that gives the painting more life.  I enjoy both plein air  painting on location and working in my studio on Big Pine Lake south of Aitkin, Minnesota. I try to capture a sense of presence and a fresh look at the subject. I enjoy experimenting with the use of saturated color and strive to take advantage of the translucency of the paints.

I am a member of the Northstar Watermedia Society and the Minnesota Watercolor Society. My paintings have been in juried exhibits, in galleries and private collections throughout the region. I accept commissioned work and will be happy to discuss creating a memorable work of art for you.
