<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;;"><span style="color: #000000;">I began creating art as a textile designer and then as a water-colorist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Today I also create a lot of mixed media pieces with watercolor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>In the mixed media pieces, I use quite a few different papers that I’ve collected over the years; some are handmade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I paint and dye most of them both before and after adding them to a piece of art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>In the last couple of years, I&#8217;ve also added more line work to my paintings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I have been an artist for many years and watercolor is still my love; there is nothing like seeing the colors mingle with water to give surprising and vivid results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></span></p>
