About Me
Northwest mixed media artist defining the process of her creations
The
joy in painting for me lies in the process of creating. As soon
as I dip my brush in water, load it with the pigment and introduce
it to paper, I’m in a different world. The painting starts
with transparent watercolor and continues developing darks while
managing to keep the lights. During this process I usually end
up adding gouache to the work. It is great fun to manipulate and
adjust the textures until the results are pleasing. The painting
is considered finished only when it feels just right. Any media,
as long as it is water soluble, is fair game, and any tool I can
think of to help create textures on hot press paper is a welcome
find."
