News! 'Four Clucks' was chosen to be accepted into the Minnesota Sate Fair Juried Fine Art Exhibition 2015 and won an award. Received an Award of Excellence in the Fall, and accepted into the 2016 Juried National RRWS Watermedia Exhibition. This same image received 2nd Place in the NorthStar Watermedia Society National Juried 2017 Exhibition. I am excited about all the things I did right!
' I've got a Secret' was accepted into the Juried National RRWS Watermedia Exhibition for a 2015 summer show in Fargo,ND/Moorhead,MN.
For me, Art has been a lifelong journey of creativity, from using a sewing machine to expanding my wardrobe, to remodeling our century old home while raising our children and practicing nursing and, finally, watercolor painting, an activity to counteract my empty nest syndrome. When I realized this medium could capture the essence of a mood or memory or describe a pleasure, I fell in love with watercolor!
Over the years I have enjoyed my ventures into all kinds of subject matter, locations and opportunities to paint and exhibit. I have experienced wonderful people at art fairs and events in our 4 state area. I think there is power in the art we fashion, and this energy can be shared with others.
I do like to create drama and boldness in my paintings by playing with light and shadows and shades of color in between. I can get lost for hours in the creative process enjoying the serendipity of mixing paint on paper, rapid spreading of color, use of layering and texture. With a little help from a photo, I can remember why I liked a certain scene, be it peaceful or active, and in memory I am able to be there.
Always wanting to learn more about watercolor, I love to take workshops to get a new perspective about the process. I am currently exploring a path of light theme with mostly representational art. I also enjoy experimenting with acrylics, watercolor and gouache (watermedia) to capture the advantages of each medium. I am so fortunate and grateful for my artistic gifts which help me feel connected to my divine roots along with all of nature.

'For those outside of Minnesota, it is this regions' largest fine art competition, receiving as much public viewing in 13 days as the Minneapolis Institute of Art receives all year. It is always an honor to be accepted.'
