I am a watercolor artist, using a limited palette to wonder at the beauty of the natural world. Through years of trial and error, I have found three colors that allow me to achieve nearly all the results I desire. I often work wet in wet, marveling at the miracles that happen in watercolor using this technique.
Through representational abstract, I like to focus on the process of exploration of the world around me while using manmade papers, mediums, and patterns as the interface between the art I make and the world it represents.
I use magazine pages altered with a citrus based organic cleaner which alters the ink. The resulting paper is transformed from its original appearance, and combines well with other papers, paints, and inks. I design and cut my own stencils for use in many of my pieces and love including geometric patterns. I also enjoy 'hiding' elements and words into the layers that make up my artwork, inviting the viewers to take a closer look and rewarding those who do.
While I have had a lifelong love of all things creative, I took up making 2D artwork rather late in life. I am largely self-taught, greatly influenced by a drive to experiment and explore different techniques and mediums. I especially love incorporating the discarded into my artwork.
My artwork is typified by a sense of whimsical fun and layers of paper, paint, and other assorted mediums.
