ARTIST STATEMENT
Inspiration for my work does not come from things external. I rarely explore vast landscapes or conduct intimate character studies, but rather work from the inside out. My paintings explore internal self discovery through the emotional response to color and texture. The initial layering of transparent watercolor or inks begins the process. After pouring the colors, moving them together and applying textured objects for variety, I let the under painting dry. Studying this under painting for several weeks before becoming enlightened as to where to take it is not uncommon. I enjoy working in stages and often times work several dozen under paintings before coming back to begin working into them. When a direction is recognized, I will use watercolors, acrylics, collage or enamel to finish the piece. The goal in using this process is to produce a piece that is rich in texture, color and depth.
