Cob Cottage in a Puddle | Media List


Statement

My artwork aims to capture the world in a whimsical way, to create beauty and spark imagination. I use a broad variety of media, including sculpture, oil paints, charcoal, and watercolor paints. My favorite combination is with ink (usually a fine-tip Sharpie) and watercolors. I usually apply bold but fluid colors and try to balance detail and structure with space and motion. The intricacies of architecture and the detail in nature move me to bring them out and display them. I try to find the balance between emphasis on detail and a free, light path for the eye to follow around the picture. The same goes for lines. I have a passion for lines. They have such an interesting power over a page- to create a shadow, to guide the eye, to create repetition, to enclose an object. It’s very precise, very sturdy. It’s intriguing to combine line with watercolors, which is a very soft, free flowing medium. My main ambition is to show the world the place that I see, however that may be.
