Art

A personal collection of watercolors and drawings—studies in observation, place, and imagination.

Realization

I value art both as a way of seeing and as a practice. Over many years I have drawn for pleasure, and more recently I have been learning watercolor. These are studies rather than professional work: older drawings, newer paintings, and records of sustained attention to form, place, and imagination.
