Most of my time I spend trying to create (or find) order, connection or purpose in my surroundings. It should be no surprise to me that in my paintings the same thing happens. For me, art is a visual expression of an emotional connection to something, whether it is a landscape, a single flower, or a thought. Every piece tells a story and it’s wonderful if my story touches the soul of the viewer too.

Carolyn,
Oh my gosh! You are so incredibly talented. Your watercolors are phenomenal and leave one with a sense of peace and tranquility. I am amazed at the depth and expanse of your creativity and how beautiful and different all your paintings are--from the colors and combinations to the images you have created! I am humbled and impressed. If I could do what you can do, I would be shouting from a mountaintop, "Hey look at me!" Instead, you quietly create these beautiful pieces and go about your day as though it were perfectly normal and natural to be able to do what you do so well.
