Elephant is an intimate portrait of the Earth’s largest land animal. I love the emotion expressed by these communal herding animals. Across Africa, elephants live in family groups which have complex social structures. Nomadic in nature, elephants cross the savannas and forests following spring rains in search of the sweetest grasses and brush. They bathe in watering holes and cover themselves in mud to keep cool and protect their skin from flies and other pests, and in doing so often take on the color of the landscape. I recently spent time at the Atlanta Zoo, taking several hours to photograph and sketch this beautiful cow, named Tara. Elephants are endangered in the wild because their populations are decreasing, mostly because of loss of habitat and poaching for ivory. This original watercolor is painted on acid free archival Arches cold pressed watercolor paper using the highest quality watercolor paints.

I am a watercolor artist living and working in Montclair, New Jersey. I love to observe my surroundings and capture the subtleties of the changing light, the seasons and the transformations of nature that I witness. This is partly why I am drawn to painting landscapes, waterscapes and flowers. They are constantly changing, yet the inherent qualities of one moment can be captured in a painting. I believe watercolor is the perfect vehicle to share my message: Life is short. We don’t have much time to really see, let alone enjoy, all the beauty that surrounds us. I aim to capture just a moment of that beauty in every painting, to draw viewers in, transporting them to a place of peace and wonder. I create larger works mostly in the studio, using plein air sketches and my own photographs as source material. I paint in a precise, controlled manner, using fine detail, saturated hues and a broad range of contrast to create depth and weight. I work with a limited color palette, using eight or fewer pigments to create the full range of colors found in my work.
