The art:

My work reflects the emotions I feel from special places, certain experiences and dreams. It might be remembrances of something seen at a great distance or out of the corner of my eye. It may be a memory or a way of organizing impressions into a flat space in a single moment of time. Sometimes it is merely the juxtaposition or shifting of basic forms and images.

Watercolor is both an ethereal and an exact medium and allows great flexibility. Adding gouache creates a cleaner edge and a preciseness of intention.

It is my hope that the viewers bring their own experiences to the work. Their interpretation is important and as valid to me as my creative process.
