welcome to see my paintings in sets linked on the left.
there are mostly watercolors and also few acrylics.

see the recent activities and the images from the art events and visit my exhibitions linked below.

go to my sketchblog


the fascinating thing about watercolor painting is the search for balance between the intention of the artist and the alchemy of the process when paint is touching the paper. To explore this alchemy and experience the thrill of unexpected results is what I like most about painting. It is only me and the brush, water and colors to negotiate with the nature of reality and the nature of the mind.
