About the Artist
      
Picture
       I live and paint in  North  Florida .  I'm a self taught artist and have had a connection to the arts all my life. 
Although  I've worked in  other mediums including oils,  pastels, and colored pencil,  I settled into watercolor and  graphite pencil  in 1990 and never looked back .    Some of the subjects I paint  include  flowers,  animals,  nature and women.    It's my way of bringing some joy and beauty into this world. 
       At the present time I am a member of the Tallahassee Watercolor Society ,  and a former member of The  East Hillsborough Guild, The Central Florida Art Society, and Lakeland Art Guild where I've won many awards including Artist of the Month and Artist of the Year 2005/06  for both Watercolor and Pencil.       My work hangs in collections throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia,  and  Australia.  
Although not accepting commission work  at this time,  in the past I have done  commissioned  portraits, animal portraits, and other works  including murals .
