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.

Mangeshi Temple
Original watercolor
Image size: 6 x 7
Not for sale (artist’s collection)
A temple in Goa, India, dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Hindu families have a “family temple” that is the basis of their family’s religious tradition over many generations. Mangeshi is my family temple. I painted it in my sketchbook from a photo reference using a quick-sketch technique that focused on brushwork. It later resulted in a more developed painting, that is now in a private collection, but I still like the freshness and charm of the version from the sketchbook. (You can see me painting this one on the home page.)
