There is not a more appropriate medium for my work than watercolor. It is a chance medium. Between the mark and me that I make is that capricious element: water. Watercolors can be fragile, but they also have an expansive vocabulary for drama in their spectrum of hue and brushstroke. I love the dialog that I have with watercolor. I manipulate the water and pigment as it lets me do and then I give it its way. I push too hard and it escapes me. I hold on too tight and it dies in my arms. I ask for a certain wash and it gives me a miracle. I ask for too much and it stops. It is rare that I can take back what I say.
