Working abstractly can feel like throwing things in the air and seeing where it lands. The beginning of the process especially, then things happen and more deliberate decisions are made. I find this process very exciting and scary at the same time.

Explorations 1, 2016, watercolor on card stock, 7"x7"

In the past, I avoided letting my paintings look like a pattern. I have fond memories of my six years in the garment district. Today I embrace the possibility that the work may take on aspects of pattern.

Explorations 3, Landscape, 2016, watercolor on card stock, 7"x7"

This last one immediately felt like a landscape. I like that approach to painting, the palette suggesting the subject.
