When I start a piece, I make color choices that reflect my mood. I seldom visualize the ending but instead trust the process to unfold. In my mixed media pieces I use a combination of watercolors, inks and metallic pens. Sometimes I incorporate fabric and textured wallpaper. My use of dramatic colors defines my work. I love the passions of the reds and oranges, the healing benefits of the greens, and the magic of the golds and metallics. Through my use of colors, I attempt to convey optimism and the strength to persevere when dealing with life’s challenges.
