My work centers on spaces from my imagination that reflect reality but don’t represent it, much like a dream. While the scale of my watercolors, and therefore interaction with them, is small and personal, my approach to painting both small and large works is similar. Surface tension, brushstroke, and layers of color are equally important no matter the size of the work. I want you to participate when you look at my art – enter my work and place yourself in the space. While my early paintings were primarily figurative, for the most part figures have disappeared from my watercolors. However, a sense of the figure’s presence remains – you are that presence.
