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.

Donated to charity auction (prints available)
I rarely paint night scenes, so this was a departure from my traditional subjects. I was channelling JMW Turner and trying to capture a sense of atmosphere through dynamic brushstroke with this composition. This painting was donated to the “Silk Road” gala auction benefitting Asian Family Support Services of Austin (AFSSA), which helps survivors of domestic violence.
