She learned photography by developing film and making gelatin silver prints using traditional darkroom techniques. … more

Lens Magazine Portfolio - 2021

In 2021, I was honored to have a portfolio of my candid black and white portraits, including a few of my classics, published by Lens Magazine. I almost hit the ceiling jumping for joy when I saw a photo of Martin Sheen on the cover. All of the photographs featured are available for purchase.

Watercolor Landscapes

In 2024, many of my paintings were of landscapes. Workshops with Tony Couch and Eric Weigard influenced my artistic development. Currently, I'm drawn to shadows, angular shapes, architecture, and mountains. My work toggles between being loose and having greater attention to detail. The spontaneity of the former sometimes interplays with the greater realism of the latter. Neither has settled as the way I wish to always paint.

Watercolor Portraits

Current explorations in watercolor portraiture, guided by my teacher Zina Polisuk. This area of interest will continue to develop in 2025 and likely become a greater focus of my painting.

Still Lives

I made a series of loose watercolors of flowers - mostly gladiolus and ranunculus - this year. I also made more controlled still lives of skulls and bottles, old hats, and one of gladiolus to practice an alternative way of working.
