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 am a water colorist working in the Plymouth, WI area. I studied art history while in college and graduated with a Master’s of Science in Nursing from Boston College, MA. I have studied watercolor since 2006 beginning with James Michael, Jean Crane, and regularly with Ratindra Das and Bridgett Austin.

While a member of the Plymouth Arts Center Gallery Committee, I coordinated numerous exhibits starting in 2006, and over the years with James Michael, Jean Crane, Bonita Budysz for the Water’s Edge Artists, and the faculty exhibit with Ratindra Das and Robert Hoopman.

My paintings have been exhibited at the Plymouth Arts Center, UW Sheboygan Campus, Lake County Gallery and I am in private collections in WI, AZ, CA and in Boston, MA.

Artist Statement

I started watercolor painting because I sincerely love the ability to create colors that are personal with a sense of warmth. I enjoy both studio and plein aire painting, however find myself gravitating to my studio for the personal quiet that takes over when absorbed in the process of creation. I take what nature gives in the natural landscapes and the detail of a flower or mountains with the broad plains setting in the foreground. Many of my paintings come from my travels only to find the same things that inspire me, right in my locale, because it is always the shapes and forms that set the design for my art. Once the painting takes hold I am no longer in control, and the painting starts a life of its own.
