I want my art to create an emotion in you. I want you to enjoy the texture of the paper . . . see the colours overlap . . . experience the accidents when pigment and water and paper coincide . . . or collide.
It’s all about that emotion you feel when you’re gazing at a painting and getting submerged in it. You’re understanding the brushstrokes. You’re seeing the splash of colour emerge from darkness. Or the brightness of sunlight glancing off the subject. You ‘get it’ – that feeling like you’ve almost been there.
My watercolours aren’t framed under glass nor is every square inch covered in paint. After all, watercolours are on the best papers in the world.
It’s the unpredictable interaction of paper, water, and paint that gives watercolours a quality that is as close to the process of painting as you get.
