Watercolor Painting of Finches

I’m excited to share with you the two books currently available that feature my watercolor artwork.

Sweet Reverence of Little Birds is a project I worked on with Patricia J. Machmiller, an award-winning haiku poet and Martha Dahlen, calligrapher. The book is a  compilation of 20 watercolor paintings depicting native California birds, paired with haiku presented in calligraphy. The paintings are done in a style reminiscent of Asian brush painting. These books are available online or at the East West Bookstore in Mountain View.

Travelling Conversations is a project that I worked on with Elaine Frenett and Jean Warren. This book encapsulates a personal project whereby Jean, Elaine and myself would communicate via the art of watercolor through a travelling sketchbook. The book pictorially captures our lives from 2005 through 2010 and features over 60 pieces of original art. This book is a companion piece to the July 2010 show this body of work at Viewpoints gallery in Los Altos. This book is available online or at Viewpoints Gallery in Los Altos.
