Artist Statement
|
As a child I looked at the world through a magnifying glass, always in amazement as to how and why things worked. I never grew out of that astonishment and eventually went on to studying Science and Art through Western Michigan University. There I specialized in mixed media techniques with watercolors and later traveled to Norway to collaborate with many globally celebrated artists. The complete satisfaction in working with watercolor is the freedom and unpredictability of its very nature. My art comes from being continually inspired and stimulated by our natural world. My attempt is to breathe life into my paintings through strong, vibrant colors. Currently my artwork is whimsical watercolors on Yuppo, using water soluble crayons to accentuate line and texture. I am currently showing my work at the Envi Art Gallery in Old Colorado City, CO and teaching Drawing & Painting/ Art History at Castle View High School. |
