· the return of light from a surface without being absorbed 

· careful consideration of some subject matter or idea 

Reflection is at the heart of watercolor painting from start to finish. My pieces begin in personal reflections on an idea with thoughts about how to best express that in a painting. 

Watercolor has been my chosen medium for over 15 years. Visually, I love the transparency created by light reflected off the paper and coming back to the viewer through multiple layers of color. Creatively, I love the challenge of working in a medium where water and color actively dance and mix on the page creating patterns for me to reflect on, react to, and enhance. For me, this interaction with the artist is the “gift” of watercolor that keeps it fresh and interesting. 

With this exhibit, “Reflections on Light and Color,” I invite you to view some of my reflections on life’s bright energy and see where your own reflections take you.
