I'm drawn to watercolor by its transparency and the way light interacts with it. I tried to be meticulous in my work, something that came naturally with my background in science. However, now there is spontaneity, a freedom, that I hadn't felt before. The image flows freely from my brush. Planning is a "before thing." Something that occurs before my fingers touch the brush and the brush touches the color. After that, it is a time of emotion and caress of brush against paper. In my search for a distinct aesthetic voice, I've been doing landscapes, figures and floral's.
My decision process is a merger of careful planning and inspiration. This was operative in paint, brush paper selection and just about every tool needed. Each painting begins with a story or emotion I love colors; working spontaneously and watching the image and the emotion take shape on the paper. I hope a viewer can feel a sense of intimate engagement.
