| Introduction | I paint striking portraits and bold florals in watercolor. The transparent characteristic of watercolor is ideal for layering pigment into luminous washes and creating stunning depths of color. Rendering the interplay of sunlight, shadow, and reflected light creates a fascinating dimensionality on the surface of the paper. I strive to make my work grab a viewer’s attention right from the first glance. I manipulate abstract shapes within organic forms to create a visual path through each piece, leading the eye through the composition via the interplay of shape, color, light, and shadow. I hope to share my interpretation of natural forms by showcasing the visual excitement I find there. I communicate through a vibrant palette, which I attribute to my childhood years on the lush Big Island of Hawaii where I was surely imbued with a passion for color. |
