Welcome to my website!

I have spent most of my life as an educator, science nerd, avid gardener, garden designer and, most certainly, nature lover. Now I can add painting with watercolors as a passion. Find out more in About Me.

My newest painting is called 'Costa Brava Garden Path'. In the fall of 2016, I took my first plein aire watercolor class along the idyllic Costa Brava coast, north of Barcelona, Spain. This botanic garden (Jardi Botanic de Cap Roig) was just outside of the town where we were staying, the lovely Calella de Palafrugell.
Please visit my Art Gallery to see my original plein aire painting of this scene and see some of my other paintings! I have divided my collections into the following groups: Available Originals, Abstracted, Imaginary & Experimental, Creatures Featured, Flowers & Plants, Landscapes and Traveling Around. Examples of these collections serve to transport you to the gallery.

Recently I have decided to exit from my garden design business, but the teacher in me still wants to share, so Garden showcases my love for gardening and design on the land with notes, photos and documents from classes I have taught.
