Inspired by the rural surroundings and the abundance of birds near my home in the St. Croix Valley of Minnesota, I attempt to capture the beauty and intricate details found in nature. Originally trained, and currently working as a graphic designer, my continuing classes at the Atelier Studio Program of Fine Art in Minnneapolis has developed my skills in the Classical Realism method of drawing and painting. I prefer a clean, uncluttered background, similar to Audubon illustrations, which puts the greater emphasis on the subject. My watercolors are painted with a small brush, very little water and many layers. The subject matter comes from a variety of photographs and plants from my own yard. Each piece is carefully reproduced as a high quality, limited edition giclée, on the finest art paper. Additionally, I have notecards and stoneware coasters of my images. You can find my artwork and gifts at Seasons On St. Croix, in Hudson Wisconsin and it will be available for purchase soon on this website. |
