About me
|
I am an award-winning and published artist living in the Lake Tahoe basin (Nevada side) with my husband, daughter and a number of pets that keep things interesting. Our daughter just received her Masters Degree from San Diego State, after previously graduating cum laude from University of Nevada Reno (proud Mooma here). My specialty is watercolors, although I am getting better at oils. I teach watercolor techniques at various local venues. I also work full time for a local architect. So yes, I keep myself busy. I am a member of the Sierra Watercolor Society (Secretary 2012-2014; Newsletter 2015-2017, President in 2018-2019 and 2022-2024, the Latimer Art Club (the oldest art club in the state), Nevada Artists' Association, National Watercolor Society, |
and the Sacramento Fine Arts and WASH club. I maintain signature status with the California Watercolor Association and Women in Watercolor. I have been published in SPLASH 18 and 22, several Richeson 75 exhibit books, a few issues of Watercolour Magazine, Edible Reno Tahoe Summer 2020 and in the 2020 Cheap Joe's Customer Catalog! I was one of six artists selected to paint from the rooftop of the Nevada Museum of Art in honor of the Latimer Art Club's 100th anniversary. Videos exist of this amazing morning; my painting was filmed being worked on in 'fast forward.' That was fun! I was also awarded the "Excellence in Watercolor" award at the inaugural Reno Tahoe Artists Awards event in September, 2022. |
