I was in love with everything in Mexico for the 30+ years I lived there. I painted each thiing through my enamored eyes. In Vallarta it was the water, the dense tropical foliage and exotic flowers. Travelling around Mexico, I painted the people, their towns and marketplaces, and their art.

Mexico was my artist's path. I was able to create myself as artist in her warm, all-embracing culture.Though I moved away in 2016, I feel that I bring in my heart the life, love and freedom gifted to me by Mexico and her people.

Watercolor has always been my chosen medium. We are akin to one another in our transparency; I like that my underlying drawing, the bare bones, often shows through.

For years, portraying the detail, harmony and patterns of thing "just as they are" was compelling and satisfying. Ovver time, an evolving of the creative process ocurred that I can only see in retrospect. Each series takes "creating" further, technically and personally where I have a growing awareness of my voice.

Now in the the Land of Enchantment I find myself still painting the memories of Mexico with the on-going Apparitions series.
