Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, I graduated from the University of Georgia with a BFA, where my focus was primarily

Interior Design.  Six years ago I attended a watercolor workshop at Callaway Gardens and fell in love with the medium.  I like the transparency of the watercolor along with the textures and layers I am able to achieve.  But, most of all I love color.

     As a child, I remember vacationing on Jekyll Island with my family.  One sunset stands out in my mind where the live oaks and the spanish moss were silhouetted against a sky of yellow, orange, magenta and purple.  Later, after studying with several artists including Marsha Savage, I found I could achieve that same instant color gratification from soft pastels.  I’ve been hooked ever since.

     I enjoy painting our southeastern landscape with its subtle beauty.  I try to capture a moment in time whether it is a sunrise, sunset, the tilting of a head or our ever changing atmosphere.  I am an avid photographer and enjoy painting from my travel photos.   I belong to two plein air groups, the Atlanta Artists Center and the Dunwoody Fine Art Association.  I continue to attend workshops, try new techniques and materials.
