I gain inspiration every day from sights and sounds, including our Florida beaches, canals, nature trails and nearby fishing villages. My goal as a fine artist is to draw you in as the viewer, into my art. I want to help the viewer focus in on a particular section of my artwork while seeing the whole picture. I achieve this by creating a focus that casts a “window” of color on a section of the painting with watercolor paints. I then extend my work out onto the mat with black watercolor paint and ink. I like to think of this as “thinking outside the box".
Lately, I have been experimenting with hand illustrated cut-outs to add dimension into my work.
