"I paint watercolor because I love the fluidity of the colors as they meld together and the spontaneity of the water in its desire to move the color on the paper. My struggle is to work equally between both the left and right sides of my brain. My paintings work best with planning, patience and trust."

"Living and traveling in Colorado offers me wonderful scenes to capture with color. Landscapes are my subject of choice, having the potential to actually take the viewer to that place."

"Painting watercolor feels like home. As a kid I loved to draw and color, but as an adult I pursued sciences and mathematics. It wasn't until I recalled those emotions I'd had as a child that I decided to leave engineering and pursue art."

"My paintings are signed with my maiden name, Viker. The characters are more like an icon and easily painted with a brush. Viker is a village in Norway."
