"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."
