INTRODUCTION

"Drawing is the root of everything."
Vincent Van Gogh

Welcome to my garden. This site offers you an opportunity to view my portfolio of nature studies in watercolor and pencil. From single plant species to mixed bouquets, my aim is always to capture each flower's unique beauty in my own particular style. Always working from nature, I take great pleasure in representing each stage of a plant's development from the tiniest bud to the blossom in full bloom. Working in opaque watercolor, I am able to build layers of color and detail, petal by petal, as I "draw with my paintbrush."

The featured artwork is available for purchase as originals, prints and note cards. You may contact me via email for pricing and ordering information. I will also work with you to create a painting or drawing on commission. Do you have a favorite flower or color palette? Are you interested in designing a home or office space using nature studies? Let us work together to bring your particular vision to life.
