Artist of many mediums, swimming, boating
I am a watercolor artist, occasionally paint with oils- with or without models. I have been a ceramic artist since 1988, and I like to create sculptures and functional pieces for the home. My forte is drawing and/or portraits. I swim for fitness and stress relief, I love being on the water either sailing, kayaking or a ferry.
