​Inspired by Zen poetry and painting, and the rich colors of Abstract Expressionism, my work is a spontaneous call and response to the statements I pose with each brush stroke. Watercolor allows an immediacy that translates the story of how I feel the world as an artist. By splashing, feathering, marking, masking to maintain the plane of the paper, watercolor paints are layered in my pieces. I compose with each brush stroke a new conversation using the language of color, motion, and structural forms.
