What I love about water – ocean, lake, river, waterfall – is how it is always changing. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même. Change is inevitable. The challenge is how to capture the depth, the movement. In my abstract, acrylic paintings, water sometimes looks like water, but it also sometimes looks like space or sky. Honestly, it’s not something I always control. Some paintings just happen.

I just couldn't ignore all the dramatic photos of the huge forest fires burning in California, destroying people's lives, homes and livelihoods. So much destruction and yet no clear national agreement on dealing with climate change. Since I couldn't put all of that into the title, I decided to focus on the heat generated.
