 >As an artist I feel that painting with watercolor is magical and I love t
 he way it makes me work with the paint and water. You can&rsquo\;t control
  watercolor\, you have to work with it. I just get excited exploring new a
 reas in watercolor or a shape or a photograph that I can have fun with.</p
 >\n<p>I find I can say things with color and shapes that I can&rsquo\;t sa
 y or do in any other medium. Value tells the story\, but color gets the cr
 edit in watercolor. Vivid colors are the first thing that attract me and t
 he viewer.</p>\n<p>My drive to create art comes from a need\, not a want. 
 It&rsquo\;s not a choice about whether or not I want to do it\; I can post
 pone it\, but I cannot escape from it. I create art in response to persona
 l feelings\, experiences\, and life lessons. I work in watercolor because 
 it can reflect the wonderful quality of light and transparency.<br />I lov
 e the way a brush full of watercolor paint hits a piece of watercolor pape
 r.</p>\n<p>I am constantly working to improve and explore new and interest
 ing ways to paint with watercolor and acrylic. After all everything we do 
 has been done for the first time and it is all a trial and error.</p>\n<p>
 I love all the colors of Utah and its culture.</p>\n<p><strong>ARTIST BIOG
