ARTIST’S STATEMENT
After working in several media, I finally discovered water
color. The splendid colors and the transparency allowed me to succeed in my goal of depicting dramatic light
on an object. Although my favorite subjects are figures, I am fascinated by the influence of liht on color
and impact. In fact, as I work, I am actually painting the light and its effect rather than the subject itself.
