Artist Statement

For years, I thrived in the world of private banking. Helping people navigate investments and life decisions provided a real sense of accomplishment. It was a rewarding career, but as time went on, a desire for a more creative outlet became irresistible.

So after I retired, I dove headfirst into the world of watercolors. I started with realistic landscapes and still lifes, but soon found myself drawn to the freedom of abstraction. Watercolor and ink washes were so exciting: playing with light and shadows let me create more emotional compositions. My past life in textiles and photography peeks through in the layers and textures of my work.
I hope to spark converstions about the meaning and impact of my work. I love this journey and the ablity to share my interpretations.
