2004

            This is the year I began painting with watercolor; I enrolled in a class with Jeanne Hartman at the Mechanicsburg Art Center called “Free Spirit Watercolor”.  Here, I learned from others how beautiful a watercolor painting could be.  I sold one painting because of this class and from that sale…I was on my way to become a professional watercolor artist!
