I am inspired by the sweetness and strangeness of life, the intersection between dream, play and fantasy. I am curious about the process of expressing our unique essence, ways of being or feeling, that come from the inside into the outside world. For me in these instances: creatures, beings, colors, shapes through watercolor painting. It’s endlessly fascinating…this life and the mystery of creation.
