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

I earned my Bachelors of Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh graduating Magna Cum Laude. I was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award as well as the Chancellor’s Medallion from UW-Oshkosh. I have signature memberships with the National Watercolor Society as well as the Rhode Island, Western Colorado, Wisconsin and the Mississippi Watercolor Societies. I have taught over 200 watercolor workshops throughout the United States and have conducted 36 International group tours to Italy, France, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Portugal, Wales, Scotland, England, Mexico, Costa Rica and the Bahamas.

My work has been featured through one-woman exhibits and group shows at art galleries, museums throughout the country as well as exhibiting in over 150 National and International Juried Exhibits, receiving numerous awards. My work has been accepted into International exhibits and has traveled as far as China and Barcelona, Spain.

My book, “Exploring Textures in Watercolor” was published by North Light Books in 2009 and has been a best-seller around the world. My work has been featured in “Splash 8” by North Light Books and “How did you paint that? 100 Ways to Paint Flowers and Gardens,” by International Artist. My artwork was also featured in “Searching for the Artist Within” by Karlyn Holman. I have also been published in many articles in art magazines such as American Artist, Watercolor and the Artist Magazine. I mail out a newsletter quarterly with updates on my classes around the country and International group trips.

Artist’s Statement

Being an artist is a holistic experience. For me, it combines the world of nature and man made structures to create an amazing painting experience. When this all comes together, the magic of creativity begins. I feel it’s important for me to continually challenge myself by attempting to paint new subjects, create new techniques and experience different materials. Since I’m always pushing myself to learn more about the painting process, I am inspired to interpret the world in my own personal way. It also reinforces the fact that the world of art is endless and I must continue on my journey wherever it takes me.
