Oil paint is my medium of choice, sometimes incorporating graphite. Unless working on a commission, I don’t set out to paint anything specific. I love to paint big so I can move with the paint, starting with whatever color I’m feeling at the time. I also like to do smaller gouache pieces and digital art on my iPad. Once I pick a color and apply it to the canvas, I get a feel for the energy. One color leads to the next and the painting just comes out of me, often in one session. I really try not to think, but just feel and trust my instincts. Being able to let go and let things happen and trust that random events will only make it better has taken me years to achieve. I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t paint, it’s so much a part of me.
