Using nature as my muse and silk as my canvas, I am a watermedia artist who specializes in watercolor, watercolor batik, ink, and acrylic. I find the layering, transparency, and spontaneous nature of watercolors to be particularly appealing. My artwork is often inspired by the lush landscapes, tropical botanicals, exotic animals, and underwater scenes that surround me in my Caribbean home of St. Lucia.
In my watercolor batik paintings, I use high-quality Chinese Habotai silk as my canvas. I create vibrant colors by layering alternating washes of watercolor and wax to give my pieces a distinct impressionistic quality. My style is characterized by textured light effects and rich, vivid colors that bring my subjects to life.
While nature is my primary inspiration, I also explore a variety of other subjects in my artwork. My ultimate goal is to continue evolving my style and vision through experimentation and exploration, and to share my creations with others in the hopes of bringing them joy and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of art and nature. My pieces can be found in private and public collections alike, and I am proud to have contributed to the world of art in my own unique way.
