Gallery 3 — Crown Street Cottage

It all began in my mother’s studio. Watching her paint and listening to her teach students gave me a love for realism, watercolor and an eye for the little details. Trial and error over the years showed me that my medium was not watercolor but needle and thread where my beginnings show through and beauty is in the little things.
