Artist Statement:

I studied oil painting in college but later switched to watercolor when I had a growing family. I am now using acrylics mostly. I enjoy the fast drying and the opacity of acrylics, which enable my rapid sketchy paint application. I respond intuitively to marks, shapes and colors as they go down with no preparatory sketching. I came to painting when abstract expressionism was in vogue and I respond to this still.
