"As a photographer and watercolor painter, I get to live in parallel worlds. I sometimes use my photographs as references for my watercolor paintings and drawings, and conversely, the practice of painting has enhanced my overall ability to see.

Watercolor painting, like photography, can be a spontaneous and time-sensitive medium, but it invites a deeper, longer gaze. Building with pigment to define edges, shapes, values, colors and depth is like recreating a subject from the inside out. Photography can eternalize a moment for future contemplation."
