“Most of my paintings are subjects that
capture my attention in the course of daily life, driving around Los Angeles or
on my travels. Many of the watercolors are inspired by scenes around my home
and garden, focusing on the details. Although flowers are a favorite subject, I
delight in discovering beauty in less expected circumstances. The setting sun
shining through a dead leaf, making it glow. Sunlight sparkling on the edge of
a river illuminating brilliant colors in rocks that would otherwise just appear
brown. Bright colors of plastic toys bathed in sunlight. Peeling paint on an
old sign. The quality of light as part of the subject is the unifying element
of my work, and the luminosity of watercolors is ideal for depicting that radiance.”
