About
Thank you for your interest in my watercolor art.
Several years ago I started painting greeting cards. Friends and family loved these cards and encouraged me to do more. And more I did! Working a bit larger and packaging these simple, inspiring, and playful images in quality mats and frames has made them irresistible. I am grateful to all of you that enjoy my work. It truly is a labor of love.
As a Wisconsin Watercolor Artist, I draw inspiration from three main things. First, from memories of growing up on a dairy farm in Green County, Wisconsin with 7 siblings. This was a simpler time, full of hard work, laughter and love, truly a great way to grow up. Second, time spent in Northern Wisconsin, which my husband introduced me to after we met. Our family continues to enjoy nature and the quietness of the area. Lastly, I draw on my children’s playfulness and humor.
Most of my work has a deckled edge. This is done by tearing the paper to the size needed before I start painting. I work right up to the edge of the paper. These pieces are then floated on mats for framing. The process in which I scan these images allows me to maintain the deckled edge in my gicleé prints. I didn’t do this at first so there are a few pieces that don’t have this affect.
My Giclée prints are done on somerset velvet with a special ink-jet printer that uses archival ink. This simply means that the prints will not fade for 80+ years
I enjoy getting ideas for more pieces and doing custom work. Send me an email with your ideas and/or and image that you would like turned into a piece of art.
Check back often. I continue to add original work to my collection.
