Original watercolor on paper, prints, and notecards

Artist’s Statement

I don’t usually wait for inspiration to move me.  

I have been doing this long enough to know that it’s all about putting my butt in a chair and getting to work. 

I paint or draw nearly every day even when I don’t want to. 

That being said, at other times inspiration stalks me and won’t let me rest until I at least try. 

Often I fail and that’s ok. Then I’m off to create something else. 

That something else does not have to be a watercolor landscape. 

I can scratch the creative itch by fashioning a sculpted beast, wrestling some stones into a wall or the simple act of properly stacking firewood.
