Gold Fallout

'Waterimagineer' is how I like to describe my painting. A mostly self-taught artist, I play with water and pigment to bring movement in nature to life. Nature, particularly moving water, gives us positive energy. Oceans, forests, lakes, mountains, have always been there for me as energizing and healing elements and I love bringing their energy forward in my art.

Favorite places to hang out and absorb nature's vibes include Trail 6 at San Onofre State Beach in southern California, Chautauqua Lake, Mt. Crested Butte, BVIs, and pretty much any hiking trail, especially if there are water features.

My approach to painting - my technique, is to brush clear water onto the paper, so it's "moving", and quickly place watercolor pigment onto key areas of the water I just put down. The color flows with the movement of the water, creating a feeling that is fluid instead of static.
