| I believe that art is a search for truth, empathy and beauty. I began my artistic journey with acrylic paint. I love the versatility, vibrant colors and forgiveness of this medium. Acrylics introduced me to the joy of color mixing and layering with transparent pigments. However, the rapid dry time and tendency for hard edges was challenging and frustrating, prompting me to explore watercolor and oil. The potential and mystery of each medium will be a life-long adventure of discovery, humility and exhilaration. Although I’ve never enrolled in an art class or workshop, I’m indebted to the artists who have written books and offered video tutorials of their hard-earned wisdom. I also have unending gratitude for artists through the ages who gave us technique, materials and inspiration. Their tenacity, sense of wonder and generosity are the foundation of the art community and a more meaningful world. |
