My subject matter is usually inspired by travel or the forested landscape of northern Wisconsin where I live in the summer. A common theme in my work is the pattern created by strong sunlight. The high contrast and flat areas of color are influences from my graphic design background. I’ve always been drawn to the look of silk-screens and woodcuts, especially the WPA posters from the 1930s. As a watercolor teacher, my instruction is primarily tradition-based, but I do love to demonstrate what is possible when technology is part of the process. It has been very rewarding for me to see the students blossom when they have such powerful tools at their fingertips. |
