“Art has always been a large part of my life.Watercolor is taking front and center. I love the vivid color and the numerous ways it can be used. It is a subject that is always on my mind. Light and the effects of light upon color are the main objectives in my work. Seattle’s rainy streets, the hustle and bustle of Chinatown, a cafe in early morning—these are the challenges I love. The movements of people along the city streets lost in their own worlds, the moods, worries and unposed actions of everyday life are my inspirations.”
