Artist Statement
Originally hailing from Texas and currently residing in Overland Park, KS where creatively I specialize in original watercolors, oils, photography, and woodworking. I also currently teach watercolors weekly in Overland Park at the Jewish Heritage Center and I teach 2 design studios at the College of Architecture and Design at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. The improvisation in each painting commands a respect for the medium and its ever-changing characteristics that when successful leave behind a visible emotion on the paper.
