I choose natural subjects to magnify the spontaneity and unpredictability of watercolor as a medium. Some works combine the use of sumi ink, an Asian art technique.
I first draw out my whimsical scenes and silly characters with pen and ink. Then I fill in the inkwork with flat watercolor washes followed by colored pencil for the detailing.
I paint with encaustic wax, a process that involves fusing molten wax on wood panels with a torch. My art has many layers, often incorporating collage, dimensional textures, linework, & incision.

The artist uses watercolor to create highly detailed paintings of botanical subjects that are both scientific and artful. The purpose is to elevate and preserve the beauty of our natural world
I work in watercolor and favor a looser style of painting which I feel creates interest and excitement. I start with a value study which helps me decide the best way to capture the viewer’s interest
These paintings are oil on canvas. The background paint is heavily applied with a palette knife while the buildings are brushed on with a thin layer. They’re ready to hang and framing is available.
