Until 2011, I had never painted or had taken any lessons in watercolor. After retiring from 35 years of teaching special education at the middle school level, I started attending local watercolor workshops in 2011 and was encouraged to compete. Since that time, my work has been juried into Splash 21, 22, and 26-The Best of Watercolor, the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and the 14th National Biennial Art Shows held in Punta Gorda, Florida, National Watercolor Society International Show, San Diego Watercolor Society International Show, Annual Signature American International Watermedia Exhibition, and has received awards in Southern Watercolor Society Annual Exhibition, Watercolor Society of Houston International Show, Georgia Watercolor Society International Show, Philadelphia Watercolor Society International Works on Paper, Louisiana Watercolor Society International Show, International Watercolor Society, and the American Watercolor Society International Show.
Some of my awards include the Susan Lattner Lloyd Gold Award for best in show in the Florida Watercolor Society 2015 annual show and the Winslow Homer Award in 2025, 2019 American Watercolor Society Best-in-Show Award, 2020 Transparent Watercolor Society of America Dorothy Dreihaus Mellin Watercolor Award, and the International Works on Paper (Philadelphia Watercolor Society) vonDuyke Award for Transparent Watercolor in addition to over 100 awards in local, regional, national and international juried competitions. I have earned signature or master signature status in ten watercolor society. My work has also been featured several times in ‘Watercolor Artist’ and ‘The Art of Watercolour’ magazines.
