Fill in the Blank
watercolor
24 x 24
I have embraced an ancient art form and through the depiction of contemporary subject matter I have made it my own while respecting its traditions.
My work focuses on people of the streets. I don’t intrude on their lives, I don’t photograph them, nor do I sketch them, when I paint them, something about their energy, their chi, has locked into my minds’ eye and it comes out my brush.
Sumi-e, works the soft contemplative tones of sumi ink with the unique construction of handmade paper and eastern watercolors, creating an image that provides a space for the viewer to reflect. What my work “says” is not fixed, it is left open to the sensibility of each person that stands before it. In this way my work resonates with the spirit of sumi-e, not by imitating tradition, but by capturing a sense of life’s impermanence, fragility and hope.
