Deb Ward, Membership Chair and President (Elect), Cincinnati Watercolor Society, OH

 “Very much enjoyed your portrait demo for the Greater Cincinnati Watercolor Society. You employed very effective educational tools throughout the program and explained yourself well. Your patience and kindness during the critique session were much appreciated. Good job!”

Betsy Bodine, TX

“Words cannot express the gratitude I feel toward you. You have made a huge impression on my mom and her life would not have been the same without this Maynard Dixon Workshop and the time spent with you in the desert. She feels vital and appreciated and is inspired to start painting again, thanks to you. This was the best present for me—seeing her happy!!”

Carole Lintner, OR

“I have taken many workshops – this was the best. I learned so much – I can be an artist after all.”

The contemporary evolution of my paintings developed over years of experimentation in my personal laboratory on canvases.Every mark I develop touches the canvas with energetic motion and energy to fully express all the qualities of the paint. I want the mark to animate as if watching a motion picture. Rich, thin, and thick colors are applied with a painting knife, brush, and fingertip to gesture the movement of the three-dimensional form, emphasizing very hard and soft edges to gain a heightened experience of form and space.
