All my adult life I have admired luscious, juicy watercolors and vowed when I
could retire, I would learn this art form. Never having studied art at all, I began
in 1994, not waiting until retirement. I see watercolor’s magic formula as 1 part
water, 1 part color, and 1 part artist’s intention. I love watching the colors mix
together on the paper in unexpected patterns. The mystery of the medium offers excitement
as you listen to the art unfold on it’s own, letting go of your control and experiencing
spontaneous expressions on the paper. Yes, I am passionate about watercolor, and I hope
my audience feels it also
I like using color in a big vibrant way creating moods to set the tone of the work.
Expressing my creativity in an energetic fashion allows me to feel alive and living in
the moment. To me art is an expression of where the creator is living, feeling and
experiencing life on any given day. Free, bold and strong are words often used to describe
my art. I am constantly turned on by new challenges and love experimental methods using
related water mediums such as acrylics, collage, inks and layering techniques
I have studied intensively, both at home and abroad, with many of today’s leading
watercolorists. I am a Signature Member of the New Mexico Watercolor Society, a member
of the Arizona Watercolor Society, the Society of Layerists in Multi-Media, National
Collage Society, and International Society of Experimental Artists. I have been juried
into many shows throughout the Southwest in the last few years where I have been awarded
various ribbons
A native of Texas, I chose to move to Albuquerque with my husband Jack in l981 and
wouldn’t live anywhere else.
In addition to Yucca Gallery my work can also be seen at the Amapola Gallery
in Old Town Albuquerque, and in Santa Fe at the Mineral and Fossil Gallery,
127 W San Francisco, Santa Fe, and Mineral and Fossil Gallery, on the Plaza in Taos.
