Watercolor & Oil Painter
“I fell in love with Watercolors in college and have continued to work in this medium throughout my adult life. A recent opportunity to participate in a painting trip to the Gaillac region of southern France, dramatically altered my painting style. The teacher on this trip specialized in oils. This was my opportunity to try something I’d been thinking about for a while. As I watched, I realized this process could not be more different than using watercolors. I felt like a beginner again and immersed myself in learning this "polar opposite process." I like stretching myself professionally, personally and creatively in this totally different process. As a creature of habit, this new medium forces me to break out of my regimented, comfortable way of painting to explore new possibilities. Painting Plein Air in both mediums is also something I totally enjoy.”
