ABOUT THE ARTIST
I lived in Vietnam from 1957 to 1966. For years I didn't visit that experience. Surprisingly, more than 30 years later when I took my initial class on watercolor, I painted 10 large paintings of this land and it's people. I didn't know I could paint and and I didn't realize my love of Vietnam was so deep.
