A Wonderful Thing… 

In the spring of 2022, I was honored to be chosen as one of five “Vintage Watercolorists of Washington State” by Sunnyshore Gallery on Camano Island. The gallery is owned and operated by the Dorsey family, a multi-generational family of well-known artists in the Pacific Northwest.

a magical medium… 

Since childhood, my favorite works of art had always been watercolors, so it was only natural to choose that medium for myself.

After nine years of practice, I was asked to teach an online webinar titled “Watercolor 101.” It was a wonderful opportunity, and almost 2,400 students around the world viewed the course live, while countless others purchased it later. It was during this experience that I discovered I LOVE to teach, and I’ve been teaching ever since.

Presently I teach watercolor classes and workshops for various galleries, art stores and art associations in the Puget Sound area, as well as nationally. In these classes, I help artists overcome any fear they might have, and discover their love for this magical medium. It is my hope – after seeing samples of my work – you will be inspired to try painting in watercolor yourself. 

Classes & Private Instruction

As a result of the pandemic, I am teaching watercolor classes and workshops online via Zoom, and have discovered I love the online approach.  

In addition, I give private and semi-private lessons online and in my home studio in Kirkland, WA.
