A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "I use unique but harmonious approaches across two bodies of paintings. The first uses a tightly controlled application of acrylic on canvas to create richly layered dreamlike landscapes woven with fine geometric patterning. The second body of work is an exploration of negative space and flowing movement through delicately painted ethereal vignettes. With watercolor and gouache I create portals using a spectrum of airy washes layered with boldly pigmented details. I paint on natural white cold press watercolor paper both for its visual lightness and textural integrity. "
