Watercolor & Mixed Media Paintings
(click on a picture below to view information) |

| I was introduced to
watercolor as a high school art student.
From then on, it became my media of choice,
although I experimented with pastels,
charcoal, and eventually acrylics. I have
always been most attracted to buildings,
urban scenes and landscapes as subject
matter for my watercolors. While the
majority of my most recent work is mixed
media abstracts, I still enjoy the challenge
of representational painting and the pure
transparency and softness that is unique to
watercolor. The paintings in this gallery
reflect that divergence of style that allows
me to flex my artistic muscle. Essential Information:
All pieces are sold
with acid-free matting, but not framed;
dimensions shown correspond to outside mat
edge; each piece accompanied by a
Certificate of Authenticity; shipping
charges apply; Visa/Mastercard accepted.

Most collage is a mixed-media form of art
that utilizes various papers, paints,
found materials and objects to construct a
“painting”. The style of collage that I do
involves applying acrylic paints, inks and
gesso to art tissue paper and watercolor
paper to create the “stained” papers that
are the foundation for these pieces. In
addition to these papers, I often use rice
paper, textured and handmade paper, sheet
music, book pages, and other papers. With a
variety of papers as a background, I layer
other materials such as gels, texture
sprays, photo transfers, gold leaf, stamps,
and found objects to complete the
composition. Each piece has a specific
socio-cultural reference, often expressed
with symbols, words, or images. I find that
collage provides the opportunity for endless
experimentation with color, texture, and
composition. It allows me to construct my
own contemporary interpretation of timeless
themes and inject my personal point of view.
I approach each piece differently –
sometimes with a specific idea or subject,
other times as an experiment in texture,
color, and design. Whatever the inspiration,
I attempt to layer, both literally and
figuratively, to provide richness and depth.
I find that collage provides the opportunity
for endless combinations of materials that
allows me to construct my own contemporary
interpretation of timeless themes and inject
my personal style. I am consistently
attracted to color and texture because I
believe these elements reflect the richness
of the fabric of life. Using a variety of
colors and textures allows me to convey a
greater sense of dimension, and thus depth
of purpose. I find great joy in creating art
and sharing it with others. I hope that my
work provides a link between past, present
and future, and allows each viewer to see
something of him or herself in each piece.
