Artist Statement

Botanicals
There is something magical about watercolor. Pigment and water combine to create a watery world not unlike the ocean. This mesmerizing medium yields many surprises in my botanicals. My colors swirl and meld in various shades catching light and shadow. Color gradations pull you into the depths of the blossoms while undulating lines create soft petals. I slowly build up forty or so layers of color for richness. A deep black background in a square format offers a contemporary twist and literally pops the flowers. These largescale flowers invite the onlooker into a world of beauty and offer a connection with nature.

Contemporary Graphic Paintings
Stories have always captured my imagination. A good story weaves a mesmerizing tale and keeps me up all night reading. I use this approach in my work to design unique compositions. My main characters are geometric shapes and the supporting characters are color, texture and pattern. I pull you in with graphic figures and colorful surroundings that interact on the page to create a visual narrative. Working in a series, I draw the eye from piece to piece to depict a moving novel through imagery. I paint a multicast of characters and tell endless stories with my art.
