Artist Statement:
I strive to depict the beautiful friendship between Water and Color. My watercolor paintings are visceral and impressionistic expressions of life and nature, inspired by the mid-20th century color field painters and other watercolor titans. After meticulously planning the shapes, values, colors, and composition of a painting, I sit back and allow the pigment to float in the water and settle as it wills. This relinquishing of control creates the beautiful granular result that is unique to the medium of watercolor.

This painting of Jo’s Coffee on S. Congress in Austin with its iconic “I love you so much” mural is in the ‘Contemporary-Retro’ style. In 2010, local musician Amy Cook took a can of red spray paint to write a beautiful and simply scripted love letter to her partner Liz Lambert, majority owner at Jo’s. With the already high foot traffic at the location, an immediate influx of people sought out the wall, taking photos with friends and lovers alike. The site quickly went viral. Then, in 2011, the public love letter was vandalized. The wall was painted its original green and, several weeks later, the couple restored the identifiable love note to its rightful spot. Today, both locals and visitors flock to take pictures with their loved ones (and post on social media) in front of the mural as it is a testament ot all great things in Austin.
