I am a watercolor artist and live in Eugene with my husband and two cats. I am easily moved by people and situations around me. I use watercolor to express my emotions by creating intentionally, loose portraits that represent strength, courage, and resiliency. Momentum comes from each piece created. My goal is to do something artistic as often as possible, keep the energy and ideas going, and learn, share, and grow with my art community.
