ABOUT MY SKETCHY FRIEND
I have been creative since I first started to embroider, sew and make macaroni decorations as a child. My grandmother created stories of the east coast by hand drawing on burlap sacs and hooking rugs with strips of reclaimed woolen clothing. I caught her creativity and the need to interpret the world in colour. My "watercolour style" is referred to as "Painterly", "Fresh", "Lively", "Happy". I do not like perfect photographic paintings. I want to feel the subject and want the viewer to feel that vibrancy and sensation I feel and see when I choose to paint the subject. I prefer wet into wet watercolor and the casual accidents that bloom and blend lend to this spontaneous vibrant rendition of the scene. I keep evolving, stretching and finding ways to show people how I see the world. I strive to evoke a essence of subject. I hope my work brings a smile to those who own it. I think we live in a beautiful country and I choose to celebrate that.
