The Wisconsin Watercolor Society was founded in 1952 by a group of Wisconsin artists. It was the first Wisconsin art organization to be devoted exclusively to watercolor painting. Its purpose now as then has always been to demonstrate and exhibit meaningful development in the medium of watercolor and to serve as a catalyst for those genuinely interested in watercolor.

Artist Biography

My early work reflected my background of having grown up on a farm. Lots of barns, fences, plants, rural scenery in general. From the very beginning, I would occasionally do something from one of the contiguous forty-eight states that I’ve traveled in, but in recent years my work has come more from my travels to other countries, and only occasionally from nearby surroundings.

I have been painting professionally since 1969, and printing stone lithography since 1981.

I grew up in southern Indiana and studied at the Herron School of Art, Indianapolis.
