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.

It was gray and snowy outside my window in New York City and I just had to do something cheerful. It was almost time for the sun to set but, of course, it wouldn't be visible through the snow. So I painted the cheerful sunset I wished I could see.
