Artist’s Statement
Plein air watercolor painting has been fabulous this past summer here in Weston, Vermont. These paintings are the most spontaneous. Area artists get together weekly to paint the landscape. capturing the unique light and shadows outside is always a challenge. We have to work fast, but that adds to the excitement. Of course I take lots of digital pictures to use when the weather is uncooperative. My paintings are an interpretation of the places I visit and the vistas I capture around my home, garden and beyond.
I earned an art degree from Iowa State University and have taken several watercolor workshops from well-known and not-so-well-known watercolorists over the years. I feel my work is still evolving and I find the journey totally fulfilling. My art affiliations include the Vermont Watercolor Society (signature member), Southern Vermont Art Center, the Monadnock Area Artists Association and the Londonderry Artists.
