Craft Interview
• Describe your style simply.
I began painting in watercolor 25 years ago. I am continuously inspired by my natural surroundings on Conanicut Island. My art is influenced by Japanese and other eastern styles.
• Among your own work, what is your favorite piece? Where is it now?
I truly can't answer this question, I have painted so many pieces over so many years. My favorite pieces are hanging on the walls in my close friend's houses.
