My precious grandson. I'm madly in love, and I draw him every chance I get! Painting portraits is my passion. I work in graphite, colored pencil and watercolor. I love the chaos and looseness of watercolor, as well as the tightness and control of colored pencil and graphite. I think that graphite drawing is an art in itself, rather than a means to and end. I also enjoy creating multimedia art. "This benefit of seeing...can come only if you pause a while, extricate yourself from the maddening mob of quick impressions ceaselessly battering our lives, and look thoughtfully at a quiet image...the viewer must be willing to pause, to look again, to meditate." - Dorothea Lange
