What are your goals?

I love working with color and texture which is what motivates me to create art. But I am also very interested in product development. I am currently developing a line of scarves that feature my abstract watercolors.

 

 

I am exploring other ways to incorporate my art into products, as well as seeking opportunities to license my art. An ongoing goal of mine is to keep a good balance between creating my art and marketing my art.

 

 

What are you working on now?

I just returned from a trip to Italy and I am so inspired to start a new series of watercolors based on the texture and colors of the buildings in Venice. I fell in love with all the ancient, weathered walls and window shutters in beautiful pinks, corals, ochres, and earthy grays and browns. I have just started mixing my palette and I am excited to get started.

 

 

What inspires you?

Color. Texture. Shape. It is the focus of everything I create. I like to surround myself with beautiful things and I find my inspiration in a variety of sources.

 

 

This can include trends that catch my eye in home decor, textiles and fashion, things I clip out of magazines, sights I see in my travels, and, of course, the pure beauty of the outdoors.
