As a watercolor artist, I find myself continuously drawn to this beautiful and versatile medium. There's something about the way the pigments react to water and paper that makes each piece feel alive and unique.

One of the reasons why I love watercolor is its unpredictability. Unlike other mediums, watercolor has a mind of its own. The way the paint blends and spreads across the paper is…

For over twenty years, my husband and I have dreamed of doing an epic cross country USA road trip. We imagined all of the places we would see, the big cities, the small towns, fields of corn growing out in the country, and miles and miles of roads. But who has time for such an adventure?

“A friend asked me, how do I know what to paint in which square. The answer is, I don't! I am moving around the painting continually changing colors, changing squares and deciding as I go. They refer to this as painting intuitively. It is a very freeing way to paint, for me.”

I can’t believe it has been 2 months since I have returned from my wonderful art travels in Spain and France! Life has been a bit chaotic since my return home, but I wanted to take some time to write about the first part of my trip, a fantastic 2 week art workshop in Andalusia lead by artist, Tonja Sell.

After 30 days and countless hours working on the most technically and mentally challenging watercolor painting I’ve ever endeavored, it is finished!

I am often asked how I got into art or how I knew I was going to be an artist. For me it really wasn’t a choice.

I’m a big believer in continuing education and training as an artist. It is so essential to my growth.
