ARTIST STATEMENT |
|
"Living in the heart of the city and being a lifelong avid golfer and traveler, the 'discovery' of watercolor has given me the perfect vehicle to express and share my passion for all three.
Each venue provides its own beauty. The exciting strength of the city's steel and glass energizes and enlivens my senses as I enjoy all it has to offer from music to dining, sports and art. This contrasts with the relaxing serenity of the links and tropical vacation settings I love to visit.
From sunrise to sunset I am most intrigued by nature's way of lighting the city, the course, the desert and the ocean's beaches. The essence of my art is to capture this magic to convey the deep enjoyment I derive from my experiences. Watercolor as a medium, supplies unlimited options to achieve this goal.
While painting is a relatively new undertaking for me, I have sought to express my creativity all my life. I am a classically trained musician and continue to find pleasure at the piano. Working with watercolor gives me yet another outlet and, along with the challenge, it gives me immense joy."
