I have been painting since 2000 and have gained valuable knowledge through workshops, classes, books, videos, experimentation, and practice. I primarily paint watercolor on Yupo but also paint on paper and create collage, and assemblage works. Common themes in my work are Biodiversity, Night Skies, and Unmaps. Experimentation is what makes creating fun; I play with new color combinations, textures, or techniques to keep it fresh and expand my skills. As a result, my art is continually evolving.
