A deep red rose blooms against a dreamy green background. The photo reference was taken in late summer in a garden. This is followed by a careful redrawing, where I rearrange the petals and leaves. This watercolor painting was done with many layers of brilliant transparent color. This is done to obtain the richest most vibrant hues possible. The background is painted in a looser more impressionistic style with a wet in wet technique. I strive for botanical realism with a hint of magic and mystery.

According to my Mother I started drawing before I started walking or talking. I never stopped. I spent a number of years as an illustrator doing over a hundred book and magazine covers and illustrating half a dozen children's picture books. Under the name Victoria Poyser I won two fan (amateur) art Hugos in the field of Science Fiction art. Some of my illustrations and fine art pieces were done in collaboration with my husband and fellow artist Julius Lisi. The works here on FAA are all my own work. I teach drawing, painting, watercolor and figure drawing at Aims Community College in Loveland, Colorado. I taught illustration at Western Connecticut State University for six years. It's hard for me to decide what I love...
