Once a scribbler, always a scribbler…

Rich and plentiful opportunities have allowed me to be creative all across the country. I’ve been jumping coasts all my life (La Jolla, Denver, San Francisco, Pensacola, Coronado, and Norfolk). Alexandria, Virginia is my home and the center of my art and design world.

My watercolors and images are inspired by the land and sea, decorative and ornamental design, figurative subjects and all things patriotic. My style leans classic but not fussy; timeless yet simple. I am often inspired while I am antiquing, visiting museums, gardens, flower shops, on the water or in nature. I strive for a marriage of my painting and design skills; each original is painted with gouache, watercolors or shimmery metallic.

My hope and intent is to create art that displays optimism, encouragement and inspiration in your life. —JJH
