“Watercolor is an adventure for me. It begins with my vision of seeing the beauty of everyday life. Seeking subject matters with unique perspectives, playful light and shadows inspire me to paint. DANIEL SMITH Watercolors illuminate my paintings with rich creative color. A highlight for me was when I encouraged the Daniel Smith company to make a Neutral Tint. I was so honored that they filmed my Trattoria painting demonstration using it. My captivating watercolor set includes Neutral Tint which works effortlessly to create beautiful mixed and mingled brilliant color combinations.”
