others, a looser mixed media
piece is more poignant. Some
become experimental drawings

or comforting: evocative but
never pretentious. The
development of my artwork is
an organic process; it often
suggests approaches to me that
I had not anticipated. I add
layers, and repeatedly bring
forth and push back the light
and shadow... the colors
become saturated and the
once-flat surface gains depth.
