The artist, who lives in Brooklyn, NY, states, “Using an intuitive process I absorb the exhilarating primal beauty that constitutes tropical environments and channel those magical feelings into vibrant metallic watercolors.  I am inspired and renewed by the beauty and serenity of the Caribbean and the intoxicating aquamarine color that changes into multi-blue hues with dazzling sparkle.”
