ARTIST STATEMENT:

"Versatility is the key to my watercolors. I give thought to the 'viewer' as I paint, not trying to paint every detail, but trying to awaken the imagination of those who enjoy my paintings. I always leave something undone so the 'viewer' not ony looks, but becomes involved in the creative process."
