In April 2008 I graduated in the illustration department from the Rocky Mountain College of
Art + Design in Denver Colorado. I've lived most all of my life in the midwest, but have
recently relocated to the east coast. Quite the change, it's a lot greener here, but I'm
adapting just fine to my new surroundings, and I am enjoying my new family with my
boyfriend and his two kids.
My artwork is done in mainly watercolor, and very seldom any other media, and no, I do
not ink! All of my fine lines are done with watercolor and fine brushes. The only exception is
the occasional use of white gouache for corrections or highlights. I paint using mainly Holbien
brand watercolors, with a few specific colors from Grumbaucher. I use 140 -160 lb
Strathmore or Canson cold press watercolor paper. ocasionally I will paint on illustration
board when I need an extra thickness. I have been painting with watercolors since 2002,
before i even found a style. I still love experamenting with new techniques and watercolor
will always be my favorite media. Im currently focused on improving my work and perfecting
my style, and I am hoping to reach those goals before the next newyear.
Above is a snapshot of me hard at work :)
