| about my art work... I enjoy using art to document unique moments. Because watercolor offers fresh surface impressions and unexpected results, it has been a good medium for capturing fleeting moods. Watercolors have formed the basis of much of my work, but for the past two years I have been experimenting with combining watercolors with a collection of images that I have found either visually or emotionally interesting. Working with collage has helped me to develop my art in a new direction. More recently, I have been using gouache and oil paints to record the personal associations, narratives, and histories of a scene. I am especially interested in contrasting moods and contrasting visual elements. I enjoy working representationally as well as more abstractly. I see my art work as a reflection on my own recent personal history in the world, a way of tapping into my journeys. I have been fortunate enough to have lived in environments that are very culturally and physically diverse. These combined histories are a continuing resource of memories and experiences that provide part of my response to art. |
