Title or Location: Sunflower
I have been drawn to sunflowers after driving through the backroads of east Texas and seeing the fields of yellow. The memories of seeing those vibrant colors blooming took my breath away. I tried to capture that awe I felt on the canvas.

Title or Location: Yucca Sentinel
This watercolor painting is part of a series of Southwest US landscapes I completed following a road trip from Texas to California. This area of the country is so varied and beautiful and I consider it part of myself as I was raised in California, Arizona and New Mexico and currently live in Texas. I?m inspired by the unique colors and the flora as I travel from the hills, deserts, prairies, mountains and eventually reach the ocean.

Title or Location: Simply Ocean
Creating "Simply Ocean" became my signature artwork as I soaked in the sun on a beach, moved by the emotional impact of the ocean's blue hues. The simplicity of those mesmerizing colors ignited my creative flame, inspiring me to capture that beauty in my art.

Title or Location: "Montana Ranch".
The watercolour is of a group of Hereford cattle grazing the grasses of the high plains in Montana with the foothills of the Rockies visible in the distance. I tried to keep my style loose by using a large brush and holding it higher up. I also worked without my glasses on. W&N tube paints were used on 140lb cold pressed paper.

Title or Location: Allentown pa
I decided to paint an ominous cloud structure to give that foreboding feeling, the hurry up before the storm makes it in type of feeling. I think I successfully conveyed that with the tumultuous clouds, the turmoil that?s going on as well as the darkening skies underneath.

Title or Location: In my studio
This horse reminded me of peaceful times so I created it in pastels. Pastels are soft and moody and we have all stood alone at times in this mood. I really like this angle of a horse because it seems like he just finished something and is standing for a bit in the sunshine and wind.
