| My drawings and paintings are a huge part of what I am. To attempt to explain what goes into a piece, what I am thinking at the time, or how I came to my specific technique is impossible. I do know that I always try to work quickly and precise to capture a specific mood and feeling to each individual work. Of late I have found water color to be perfect for my style. I am able to move quickly and have a color palette that is limited only to my imagination. I try to create pieces that capture my specific mood while creating it, yet it is my intention that when the piece is done viewers of the piece become ingrossed with it and can relate their own feelings and moods that they have had. |
