Why I draw people.
At the end of our lives, what matters is how much we were loved, how much we loved others and what legacy we leave behind. My purpose as an artist is to use my talent to assist people in creating a visual expression of their love and appreciation. To me, portraiture is the hightest art form. The most difficult, the most emotionally powerful and lasting expression of appreciation and love... My goal is not to just duplicate a photo, but to create a flattering likeness and bring my subjects to life.....

Why I paint watercolor landscapes.
I enjoy nature. Whether I am snow skiing, fishing, hiking, rafting the Boise River or riding my bike on the greenbelt, I feel at peace with the life and beauty around me.
The act of painting these scenes gives me pleasure. Watercolor, like nature, is beautiful, spontaneous, unpredictable and challenging. The end product serves as a visual reminder of pleasant memories and experiences. When I am unable to commune with nature, I can bring it into my home and yours through my paintings.
