 I paint because I love color: its spirit, character
and nuances. Through painting I explore the drama between light and
darkness. I believe that colors heal the soul, both of the artist
and the viewer.
Painting is a contemplative process for me. I simply start with
color. Gradually the composition arises out of the color. The less I
impose my ideas onto the painting, the more the work takes on a life
and character of its own.
 In watercolors, my starting point is "veil painting," a process in
which every wash must dry before another is applied. I begin with
one or two colors in transparent tones. As the layers build and
overlap, new color tones and values are created. I intensify some
areas until they become opaque, and leave others as almost invisible
veils. I watch for forms to emerge, and assist their appearance. A
period of artistic tension follows, until the work feels complete.
Acrylics enable me to find new levels of intensity and playfulness.
In one series I have chosen a set of colors based on the rainbow
sequence. Each painting is dedicated to one color, enhanced by
others that help to create a unique mood for the primary tone. My
paintings also explore soul moods, such as piety and passion.
Ultimately, the colors speak for themselves.
