I eliminate unessential details and use minimal representation in my abstractions. The organic, fluid style of my work suggests the changing natural landscape. My artistic journey has taken me beyond using transparent
watercolor in a realistic manner, to a more contemporary, impressionistic and experimental style of painting. Using alternative painting surfaces such as Yupo allows me to develop texture, pattern, and intense color central to my paintings. Experiences in nature, whether rafting the Grand Canyon or observing plants in a forest, provide me endless inspiration and joy. My art leads people to feeling the exhilaration and comfort possible in connections to the natural world.
