  I am delighted to welcome you to my website. Please feel free to view the gallery exhibiting original watercolor paintings and reproductions of my watercolor paintings.

When touring the area via boat or car, please visit my studio located three miles south of Bayfield., WI on Ski Hill Road. I am open from mid-May to late October, 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, noon to 4:00 pm on Sunday, and closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thank you for viewing my web site.

 

Watercolor paintings have fascinated my imagination since kindergarten. Its easy to recognize the same magic happening to others during workshops, and doubly satisfying to personally experience this feeling on a daily basis in the studio.

 

Overall, the key to a good watercolor painting is the conservation of the white of the paper and its use within the composition. Since watercolor does have a will of its own, the painting process becomes one of controlled chaos, never redundant and always fascinating.


I am a Graduate of Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado with degrees in Art and Geology, and have ongoing graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin in Fine Art. I have painted professionally for over 20 years.
