My art begins with the application of layer upon layer of acrylic glazes onto  canvas.  In some cases the painted canvas is embellished with paper in strategic places that make the composition evolve, and it becomes the collage.  In other cases the canvas stands independently with paint, gel mediums and texture.  When the color has been established by the glazes and the shapes reveal themselves, I can emphasize them or diminish them, according to the developing design.  It is at this point that I try to capture the idea that will determine the final outcome of the piece.  The process itself is my inspiration.

 I have worked in watercolor, oil paint, acrylic and pastels and I feel my experience in these varied materials has prepared me for work in mixed media and collage.

 New works evolve and become very different from past works, but there is always a thread that unites them.
