The immediacy of watercolor makes it my medium of choice. My role as a contemporary artist is to reduce a subject to its essence. My favorite personal artwork has a sculptural quality with an interplay of light and shadow. I have commissioned portraits and paintings in many states, as well as Kentucky.
