WATERCOLOR ANIMAL SERIES

An ongoing series of watercolor animals. These works are loose and spontaneous, painted with large washes and splatter, exaggerated color, and smooth gradations. With quiet brushstrokes, I can momentarily escape the madness into the wild and connect with nature. Animals for me have always been a safe haven—gentle souls that are in touch with a peaceful spiritual world. My relationship to the animal spirit was the driving force behind this work and my sole motivation.​ My approach was purely interpretive in nature.  Put differently, these paintings take into consideration my interpretation of the animals’ spirit, not necessarily their true appearance. I like to describe them as dreamy star-dusted animals! In the end, these paintings capture the animal spirit in a unique blend of realism and impressionism.
