I have been making art in some form for as long as I can remember and my work has always been about "the process". The focus of my current work is based on symbols, mythology and artifacts of other places and times. By using the qualities of line, shape, color and texture the painting begins to take shape seemingly of its own accord.

I use watercolor, acrylic, collage and mixed media in a layered process and the images seem to evolve in a mysterious language, molding textures and colors into a painting that communicates my feelings on a place or subject. I want to invite the viewer to take a closer look beyond the surface, to find what is hidden in the many layers of Watermedia that evoke a sense of mystery and illusion.
