I started my art training at College of San Mateo in 1999.  I have completed numerous courses in drawing, color theory, art history, design, ceramics and watercolor.  It was after taking my first drawing class that I started to look at the world through new eyes, seeing color and shapes that I had just taken for granted previously. 

I have studied with Kay Carnie, watercolor instructor at CSM, a fabulous teacher who inspires and encourages her students. I have also taken watercolor classes through the Senior Centers with John Warner and Joyce Faulkner, learning something new from each instructor.

My painting style is realistic and detailed.  I love the translucency of watercolor that is possible with many layers of light washes.  I mix my own colors using the primaries, both in my palette and sometime directly on the paper.

My favorite artist is Georgia O’Keefe, and my greatest fans and supporters are my family.  I can be contacted at:  ccdrilling@hotmail.com
