About the Artist
About the Artist
As a self-taught watercolorist, I have discovered many unconventional techniques that allow me to translate detail into beautiful works of art. My style is detailed and I approach any subject matter from a differt view and perspective. Many admirers of my work state that "It looks like you could step right into the scene."
Over the years I have been fortunate to receive several awards and recognition. Most recently I received two awards, one for best in show and the other for peoples choice award. Held at the Bingham Arts Series Juried Art Show & Sale, this past March. I am currently available for design and commissioned watercolors.
Because of the nature of the detail in all my paintings, some designs may take anywhere from several weeks to a couple of months to paint. If you are interested in a commissioned painting, I will be happy to discuss timing, size, cost and subject matter with you. 336-287-1149
