I find inspiration for my paintings from many sources. The Driftless region, where I live, offers beautiful landscapes that I love to paint. I also create scenes from my travels to different places. Another significant source of inspiration for me is my fascination with birds. Each painting I create explores these themes in a personal way. When people look at my artwork, I want them to see the world through my eyes. I hope they can experience how light, color, and shapes interact in watercolor paintings, which makes this medium so captivating and visually interesting.
