I am at heart both an artist and a scientist. As such, I’ve become a careful observer of the world around me and am drawn to trying new experiments in my approach to creativity. I am inspired by the way watercolor can uniquely embody light, color, energy, and life - - many of the same qualities I played with as a physicist working in laser optics! Before working in the lab, I spent over a decade doing business as a technical illustrator and graphic designer. The strong drawing skills honed during this time gives me the freedom to tackle a wide variety of subjects, keeping my time in the studio fresh and interesting. In addition to studio time, I enjoy painting out of doors whenever possible.

​

I am excited to join the community at the Art Center and to have the opportunity to share some of what I am working on. It is my hope that I have captured a little of the bright energy and life I see around me every day, and that these paintings resonate with viewers and can enliven and bring joy to their personal spaces.
