Flinging Pigment
Artist Statement
Originally hailing from Texas, currently residing in Overland Park, KS where I specialize in original watercolors, photography, and woodworking. Following a career in architecture I returned to watercolors in the summer of 2018 after a relocation to the midwest. The improvisation in each painting commands a respect for the medium and its ever-changing characteristics that when successful leave behind a visible emotion on the paper.
