ARTIST STATEMENT

​

I'm typically influenced by biological forms around me . My subject matter involves experimenting with integrating science into my artwork. I primarily use traditional mixed media such as: watercolor, ink, gouache, and acrylic paint on non-conventional surfaces to capture movement and life. Making the brush dance and the ink sing. Everything is captured in the spontaneous dance and movement of the brush as it meets the surface of my choice. There is no going back and correcting when painting with ink on paper. The challenge is to see beyond the distraction of the conspicuous to capture its unique self. Some of my subjects are beautiful, others less so. My goal is to inspire those who see my work to look more carefully at the world around them, to discover beauty in unusual places.
