"My themes and ideas

in watercolors are

arrived at through the unique qualities of the medium.  By utilizing

three visual phenomena, startling and inventive forms can be achieved.

The unpredictability of watercolors is step one.  Pour a rich gum Arabic wash onto the paper

freely as in Gestural Abstract Expressionism.  Like the Rorschach test, images appear to the

eye.  Because of the

gum Arabic, the wash

can be extended or removed permitting endless changes to the shape.  Once satisfied, detailing can be added.  The result is Gestural Architecture."
