Welcome to my watercolor web site and my Chesapeake Bay studio in Deltaville, Virginia!  I love to paint the wildlife, gardens and undersea world of the Chesapeake Bay Region, the Outer Banks of North Carolina and the Florida Keys in creative and colorful interpretations and look forward to sharing my work with you.  I call my style of painting “impressionistic realism” and aim for a luminous flow of colors that shows off the extraordinary beauty of watercolor as a major art medium.

I am very pleased that my paintings have been purchased for both private and corporate collections throughout the world. Please browse this site to learn more about my works.  For additional information you may reach me at my studio.  I'd love to hear from you! 

I have been happily splashing paint between teaching art classes and displaying my work at shows (see my 2008 show schedule)!  Please come to one of the shows and stop by for an art chat ... I love to talk about my painting process ... how "negative painting" highlights an osprey's nest, how I "pour light" under the sea and into the jellyfish background and how I mix the colors of the water in the Chesapeake Bay and the Florida Keys to keep the watercolors clear and luminous.

If you are interested in taking an art class please see  my classes and workshops page.  Be sure to sign up for your favorite class or workshop early as they always fill quickly.  In addition to my classes in Virginia, two new Florida watercolor workshops are already planned for January, 2009!
