Mixed Watermedia |
|---|
My paintings are an eclectic mix of various watermedia
and styles. My landscapes tend to be
impressionistic, my figures
are dominated by shapes, and my still
lifes tend to be more colorful. I usually
paint with very thick, juicy watercolors
on a prepared surface coated with light
molding paste that I apply with a pallet
knife. The molding paste provides a textured
surface and allows me to lift the paint
back to white if I need to.

I paint in
layers of color and texture and frequently
incorporate watercolor crayons to add
a drawing element to my paintings.
I enjoy collage and
have been experimenting recently
with incorporating collage into encaustic
painting. I also sometimes use water-based oils to paint
landscapes, especially if I'm working
very small.
I exhibit regularly in the TCAG Upstairs Gallery and participated in group shows in the downstairs gallery in 2009 and 2003.
