that will hold one’s
attention—works that can be
contemplated repeatedly and
that invite viewers to
meditate on something as
simple as a bit of luminous
color or a graceful line. I
prefer to work small because
doing so is conducive to my
aim of creating an intimate
viewing experience.
While I have worked in a wide
range of media, I always come
back to watercolor, pastel and

combining two or all three of
the latter in order to create
a layered look that is at once
saturated and translucent. In
