Artist's StatementI have drawn and painted since childhood. It is simply what I like to do best. I paint every day at my studio at the Lakeview Inn. When it is warm enough, I paint on location. Painting on the spot is the most fun because it is all right there - the lights, the smells, and the color. I feel very fortunate to live in Vermont. The landscape truly inspires me. Barns and farms are frequently the subjects I paint. I love the buildings and the animals. It is these farms that help make Vermont so beautiful. I try and capture some of this in my paintings. I paint on 140 lb. Arches Hot Press Watercolor paper; it is very smooth and allows for fine detail. I use Grumbacher and Winsor-Newton Watercolors, and a blend of sable and synthetic brushes. |
