A constant student of watercolor painting, I find the medium exciting, creating byways to new ideas and leading me to experiment with varied subject matter.
I am a recent Shelburne transplant and a former student of painting at the MFA in Boston and the Montclair Art Museum in Montclair, NJ. It's been a long while though. Looking forward to getting my painting legs back.
