I studied fine arts and botanical art and illustration at Ringling College of Art in Florida. This intense experience gave me a firm grounding in the techniques for painting in watercolor. I also paint landscapes and floral, the rigor and precision of botanical art and scientific illustration remain my first love. I've been painting for many years, yet I never stop learning. Every painting is a new problem to solve, a new chance to be a better artist. I embrace that chance to learn.
