finding my voice - developing my style
WATERCOLORS
Kinderdijk, Ned
Featured Sketch “ The Windmill”
Art is often less about knowing the destination and more about trusting the journey. Fill the blank page, make the first mark, and see what happens. Occasionally, the painting teaches you something the original idea never could. Kinderdijk, Netherlands — a reminder that discovery is often found in the doing.

Biography
Growing up as one of six children in suburban Chicago I found freedom and adventure on my bicycle and solitude while reading. The balance of action and introspection broken only by my dry sense of humor, carried me thru Catholic Grade School and Private Prep School. I worked my way through College, had a career, and with the help of my very supportive family and friends I manage to stay very active.
