"In her paintings, she is herself - the same mind and heart that guider her into live are also instilled in her art. She is not concerned with short-lived fashionable trends in art nor is she fanatically enslaved to art principles of the past.
She looks into the world around her, inhales the elusive and revels in the changing."
- Prof. Kiril Bozhkov PhD of Fine Arts, Bulgaria
Join me as our days fill with painting, laughs, love, friendship and creativity as I journey, teaching the joys of watercolor to all those who are curious. I look forward to seeing you at my workshops.

THANK YOU for the amazing workshop! I am truly grateful to you; for your wise advice both in painting and in life.
You are an excellent instructor as you taught me more than just painting. The paper that summarizes your workshop philosophy /concepts /and ideas is great. I especially like Don't Correct-Just Connect! Thank you also for that.
I will be sitting in another one of your workshops someday!!!
