Watercolor

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

My vision employs a two-dimensional surface and I strive to create depth through color placement. One brush stroke stimulates the next gesture. I respect and enjoy the fluid nature, the give and take, and the freshness of the watercolor medium. The images range from abstraction to reminiscent forms. I attempt to balance expressive energy and effective composition by contrasting areas of soft and quiet marks.

I believe that my work is approachable and suggestive. Most observers find a connection with landscape rhythms. "Stillscape II" is the second in a series of large works depicting a still-life within a landscape setting.
