I was born two minutes after midnight New Year’s Day.  In those days there was no polio vaccine and at 18 months I was afflicted. I wear a leg brace. I do believe that if I wasn't restricted, I would fly away.  My life has been impacted but I’m thankful.  I enjoy good conversation, music, wine, espresso. . .  
As a child, I built cardboard houses and drew floor plans in the dirt.  Textures, fabrics and colors fascinated me.   I designed and built stage sets.  I drew portraits of friends and sometimes pleased my art teacher.  In high school I exhibited leadership and entertainment abilities, focusing on art in college.
I found my bliss and saved my sanity when I discovered watercolors.  On the market since 1989 with a Bachelor of Arts, I enjoy self-education and challenging traditional watercolor concepts. 
Hopefully my work reflects inspiration.
