All my life I have been around art. My mother was an artist and my father a scientist. I am the product  of both. My mother taught me fluidity and spontaneity. My father taught me to seek the reason why.

Watercolor to me is a mixture of both. There are rules to follow and rules to break. When, where and why are found in the result of the finished painting.

I like to paint bold. I love strong value changes. I like lifting and glazing and blending colors on the paper. I like to paint big and let the painting tell me when I’m finished.

I paint to progress. I view galleries to expand. I read books that explain and read them again when I forget.

I want my work to speak to people. I want them to stand and gaze at my paintings and forget they are standing.

            Continuously.
