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 have long been fascinated by diffused light showing through trees and reflected on water or snow, especially early or late in the day when the sharp edges and clear lines disappear. I don't know if or where this exists in the real world, but it's alive in my head.
