I enjoy painting outside where I can take advantage of surroundings natural light and the sights and sounds that influence each painter`s creative nature. Outside in nature’s studio I must capture the moment because light and its effect reflection and cast shadow changes continuously. I believe that with watercolor there is a partnership between the artist and medium to balance the knowledge technique and skill of the painter while leaving room for the magic that makes watercolor so distinctive. \ Significant Artistic Accomplishments: \ •\\tExhibited 13th Annual Signature American Watermedia International Exhibition\ •\\tExhibited 148th Annual International Exhibition American Watercolor Society \ •\\tExhibited 2018 and 2021 National Watercolor Society Member Exhibition \ •\\tExhibited 2021 American Impressionist Society Associate Member Exhibition\ •\\tExhibited 17th National Exhibition of the American Society of Marine Artists \ •\\tDemonstration artist and field painter 2017 Plein Air Convention & Expo \ •\\tPublished interview June/July 2015 issue Plein Air Magazine \ •\\tPhiladelphia Watercolor Society Crest Medal Award Recipient\ •\\tPennsylvania Watercolor Society Inducted Member Sylvan Grouse Guild \
