I have painted in transparent watercolor for over 30 years. The medium has allowed me to depict every day moments in a dramatic way. The pure white of the paper with the translucence of color produces an effect not found in any other medium.
In this series, I am maintaining the transparency of watercolor, but challenging the idea that it is a delicate medium. My chosen subjects all focus on reflective surfaces asking the viewer to take a journey through a complicated image of many layers. I expect the viewer to ask, what is reflection and what is reality? Many people react with the statement "I did not know you could do that with watercolor!"
Explore these images slowly. The more carefully you look, the more you will discover.
