Initially educated in creative writing with an MFA in poetry, I turned to watercolor art as a way to explore through images what I could not say with words alone. Watercolor is an ideal medium for my work because it has a fluid, elemental immediacy that evokes the natural world. There is a long tradition here as well.  I like to feel that I’m continuing the lineage of artist-naturalists who found this medium to be a trusted friend in capturing the life of their wild spaces.
