ARTIST STATEMENT:

I love to create art-large and small, temporary and permanent. This spring/summer I'm working on a series of watercolors is inspired by iconic St. Louis symbols and architecture, tempered with an awareness of our shifting culture and climate. Look for fresh paintings before year's end!
