I have always been an artist at heart. Of course, once it was time to choose what to study for a career, I chose science! What? Clearly, the mind won over the heart, however, my charts, diagrams, and presentations were always colorful. Life was good and my artistic side was always alive and nurtured. After many successful years, it was time to set the artist free. Art is my true freedom of expression. Whether precise realism or an impression of what is there, I attempt to capture that light, mood, vibrancy, and energy. Along my journey, I’ve recognized that undeniable pull toward watercolor. The transparency of the medium is truly remarkable, allowing so much light to shine through. Done right, the artwork vibrates with energy. Whether I am walking along a path, stopping in a local shop for coffee, or simply out and about, I am continuously inspired by my surroundings. I can be looking at a grand building with wondrous architecture or simply looking at a seemingly mundane scene before me. As an artist, I explore ways of interpreting what I see. What stories can be developed? I search for that spark that attracts me to the subject. With that, I attempt to capture the feeling. When I lose track of time, I know I am on the right path. While I have many landscapes and other subjects, my recent work has been influenced by the city, its architecture, and most often the people in it. This can be in the city’s core, a suburb, and even in more rural parts. I take many reference photos and explore around the scene. I’ll do value sketches and will complete artwork once back in the studio. The journey continues. I invite you to follow along.
