Artist’s statement
My appreciation for the visual ards began when I was a teenager, when I fell in love with so many wonderful artists from the Impressionist Era. My interest focused primarily on the women I observed in Figurative Are, i.e., those paintings in which people were included. Four years ago, while vacationing in Florida, I had enrolled in a Beginning Watercolor class at the Art School of the Boca Raton Museum of Art, which provided the introduction and basiscs I needed to begin painting in theis medium I loved. Watercolor soon became a new niche for me. While many artists concentrate their art on landscapes, urban scenes, astracts, and florals, the emphasis of my body of work is on figurative paintings. Most often, I still am attracted to the people on the paper, rather than the scene itself, as they all seem to have something important to say to us.
