Imaginary Landscapes

One June before we broke for summer vacation, Sister Anne-Marie asked what I would be doing for the summer and I responded with “painting, of course” and she remarked with “you know, you should really try watercolors, only real artists can master them.” I took that as a challenge and created a series inspired by landscapes from Asia. One of my favorite spaces is the Asian garden at The Metropolitan Museum in New York. The piece that I created based on that is owned by Tom Joyner, who I had the opportunity to meet at a White House correspondence dinner.
