I find water media easy to work with. It invites me to sit down and paint whenever inspiration strikes. The immediacy of paint and water lets me put what is in my head on paper at any moment. My drawing subjects come from things I see around me, in magazines, newspapers, books, faces on the train and objects in my surroundings. I try to interpret them as pleasing forms and shapes and then fill them with bright color. My work also houses hidden comedy and satire as a reflection of my notions about the world. The finished works often looks as though they should be part of a narrative, yet the overall story remains illusive, unclear and mysterious. Ultimately my paintings are not meant to make sense, but to create a feeling of disorientation, puzzlement, and amusement. I want the viewer to be able to look with fascination over long periods of time. Something new should be seen with each encounter with the image.
