I use small watercolor studies of landscapes and cityscapes from my travels in Western Ireland, Spain, Italy, Bermuda, and Colorado. Different components of these small studies are pulled together and combined onto large canvasses. The experiences of traveling and painting in these places has given my work new depth and meaning – where before I painted solely what I saw, now my paintings have become translations of my first impressions. My mind makes sense of my surroundings in its own way, using a compilation of images and memories to create a permanent record of my emotions and experiences.
