Artist Statement:

     I am going through a transition with my art and am very excited about the direction I am going. Getting out my oil paints and refining my digital photography skills, yet finding I am still obsessed with the way watercolor flows and settles, granulates and blooms. Having once again decided to move beyond merely creating a pleasing realistic scene, I have begun working in a more abstract format, utilizing random elements to facilitate creativity. Drawing from the past, my love of pattern, both in rhythmic repetitions of simple shapes and in formal patterns of textiles and pottery; I am adding it to my signature technique of building luminous, oil-like watercolor glazes to render faces that seem to pulse with life. Working with a more earthy pallet, I am creating pieces that whisper of origins, oneness and hope.
