About
The Artist
I have spent the last 20 years studying watercolor through various means – local classes, workshops, reading and rereading books by famous artists (Robert Wade, Tony Couch, Phil Austin, Ron Ranson, and Cathy Johnson are some of my favorites). I also had an exceptional mentor, Bill McBride, in Northern California, where I spent most of my summers.
Having lived in California, Arizona, and Nevada, I have painted a lot of desert, rural California, Lake Tahoe, and Sierra Nevada scenery. I like to paint landscapes, animals, vintage cars and trucks, birds, and old architecture. I love doing commissioned work on any subject.
My husband of 55 years, Bill Walters, makes all my frames from old-growth redwood, fir, and old fence wood. He also puts together the final product, adding hangers, dust covers, and wall pads.
We are both now retired from our 30-plus year careers in California – he in law enforcement and I, a nurse practitioner.
I absolutely love painting watercolors and hopefully will enjoy it for many years to come.
