Exploring color and its affect on us never ceases to amaze me.
My preferred medium is acrylic on canvas. Having a brush or pen in my hand transports me to another world. I rarely miss a day without drawing or painting on something. Being spontaneous gets my creative flow started. Studio time is a discipline where I get to indulge the nuances and let the process lead me.
