Painter, Seattle / WA // June 2014
“The watercolors are built up, layer by layer, beginning with the lightest of washes...I continue painting increasingly darker, narrower rings until I arrive at a fine line at the center of the original ring. That line, the darkest color, has all of the previous colors underneath it...If successful, I want the paintings to have the appearance of something inevitable, if not wholly predictable.”
