PVW, based in the Maryland/ Virginia/D.C. area, is a juried society of watercolor painters
We are a nonprofit organization that seeks to promote the art and excellence of watercolor painting.
Our members include many watercolor instructors and artists who exhibit at prominent galleries, museums, and nationally acclaimed shows. Some serve as jurors; others give demonstrations and programs for art and community groups.

The way light falls on an object has always fascinated me. In paintings, I strive to capture the interesting effect that light plays on the subject. I believe an artists job is to make people notice the things that they see in everyday life but fail to really notice. There is so much subtle beauty in the world, and it is the artists job to make people learn how to see it. I paint a lot of views of the Key Bridge with Georgetown in the background. That’s what I’m known for. But I also love other landscapes, still life, and portraits.
