I painted this stylish older woman who modeled because her warm and childlike quality fascinated me, while her pearl necklace and the long curly hair gloriously draped on her shoulders gave her an aura of abundance and delightful softness. That challenge inspired me to reach for the pastel box, to lavishly drape her hair and her sunny image on the complete width of the soft grey, textured pastel paper. She is unique, exuding great character. I go for realism tempered with happiness and balance, in the same way the grey background tempers the bright Indian yellow and rust. I hope there is a place in the viewer's life for both, and that if this portrait reminds you uplifting spirits exist.

After a fashion design career in New York City, I now paint realistic floral watercolors, and realistic portraits in watercolors, pastels, oil on canvas and digitally tinted portraits. What motivates me to paint Native Americans in this new watercolor collection is the beauty of the true personality and character of a magnificent race of ancient people issuing from pre-history and call doing them justice an awesome honor. In my watercolor flower paintings, I am inspired by the exact luscious realism of Dutch Baroque Flower painting traditions that consoled me throughout my lonely years in boarding school, from which I drew solace in experiencing botanic beauty, elegance, luscious generosity, color, and frivolity, in short, in all things that are out of the realm of a strict upbringing. They still provide glorious satisfaction, even if my standards for classical realism still drive me.
