I am fascinated by the transparency, the opacity, and the capturing of light of the watercolour medium. Using watercolour pigments combined with a ratio of water, good quality cotton paper, and some of my favorite paintbrushes, my work is the beautiful result of adding water to the colour pigments to create the relative lightness and darkness of my art.\u00a0 This is where magic happens and for me the possibilities are endless.<\/h3>\n
