The colors of the Southwest have influenced my painting a great deal. There is no other blue as the blue of the New Mexico Sky, or the wild colors that we see in our sunsets. The colors and mountains of New Mexico have influenced my painting style for many years. I believe this comes from having to live away from them for several years in a wet and dreary climate, and getting to return to my native state.

A gallery owner once wrote that I was “having a love affair with paint.” So many days immersed in paint—on my clothes,
on my skin, under my nails. Years go by as I watch other artists jump happily from one discipline to another but I’m still entranced, still infected. I’m not having an affair—paint is my true love.

"I approach painting as an observer of the soul, enlightening the viewer about the presence, wonder, and dignity of nature and life. I want the viewer to value place and person in a space of spirit and heart and bring this illumination into their personal environments."

WESTERN INTERPRETATIONS OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE PAINTING TECHNIQUES
What is Splash Color? The foundation of this method of painting can be found in principles originating in the Tan Dynasty of China with a technique known as Po Mo. Po Mo is a traditional approach to Chinese painting, but Splash Ink with Watercolor pushes it into a whole new realm. Splash Ink painting is called splash ink because the artist splashes, throws, or pours black ink and the three primary watercolors or liquid acrylic onto the layers of rice paper or watercolor paper in order to create intended and unintended effects in abstract forms and colors.
