I love watercolor’s translucency, its ability to be layered, allowing
patches of underlying color to be seen—much like one can glimpse the
color history of the weathered buildings of Colonial Mexico and the
inherent colors of the cobblestones as layers wear away. I use both dry
brush and wet-on-wet techniques to build layers of color. The fluidity
of watercolor is both challenging and exciting and lends itself
beautifully to scenes of nature, city, and my favorite subjects: the people and streets of Mexico. I divide my time in two different worlds, living half of the year in San Miguel de Allende in Central Mexico and the other half of the year in Sacramento, California, USA. Both countries are inspirations for my watercolors. My work can be seen in the Carmel Mission, Carmel, California, and at Casa Sonrisa in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico. |
