My work is typically a reflection of not only my mood, but my reaction to what I’m seeing and hearing in everyday life. Many of my favorite pieces started out as warm-up exercises. Watercolor is my go-to, especially highly pigmented earth tones, and I work best with rich colors and soft edges. Like most, I go through phases…sometimes working from a photograph of a favorite vacation spot or creating a kid-themed illustration, but more often I’m working on an abstract idea out of my head. Lately I’ve been working with various types of ink, using them alongside watercolor and pastel pencils. My favorite way to create is to drop some pigment and let the paint or ink take control and see where it takes me.
