The Ojai Group

Mixed Media & Watercolor Artist

I am an expressionist and a colorist and use art to explore my view of the world.  I focus on color, shape and texture in my work and strive to connect emotionally to my subject matter in a way that I hope to make visually evident to the viewer.

I have participated in over forty exhibits, including seven solo shows, and won numerous awards. The most recent are first place in aquamedia in the California Gold Coast Watercolor Society Spring 2008 Open Show and first place mixed media in the Thousand Oaks Art Association Fall Members’ Show.

I have current affiliations with: the National Watercolor Society, the Santa Barbara Art Association, the Las Padres Art Association of Santa Barbara, the Thousand Oaks Art Association,  Studio Channel Islands, Ventura County Art Association, the Hillcrest Center for the Arts and the California Gold Coast Watercolor Society.  I served as President of the California Gold Coast Watercolor Society in 2004 and I am a lifetime signature member of that group.  I am also a founding member of The Ojai Group.
