Artist Statement
I’m continually inspired by nature and its inhabitants and strive to capture their magic by utilizing the flow of watercolour, an amazingly versatile medium. I believe painting is meditative for both the painter and the viewer, and I hope my paintings convey peace and tranquility.
Inspired by beautiful photographs and using limited colour palettes with sometimes as few as two colours per painting, I painted this series of small but charming birds perching on branches. In contrast to the crisp details of the birds in the foreground, I painted blurry backgrounds hinting at spring greens, falling autumn leaves or snowflakes in the winter. Additionally, I used white gouache, metallic watercolours and salt in separate paintings to add interest to the birds or create the effect of the falling snowflakes.
