I specialize in contemporary figurative watercolor painting.

Some musicians say that they see music in color. I see art as three-dimensional dance with layers and elements flowing in front and behind one another in a surreal motion. The border used in some pieces creates a story that starts to reveal only after close inspection. My ocean and desert paintings carry this style with intertwining layers and translucence.
