“My art is my expression of my inner feelings inspired by nature. As a trained physicist, I have come to appreciate the artistic beauty found in nature, particularly landscapes, from microscopic to cosmic scales. Art is a second career, built on a store of memories and experiences observing nature and her phenomenon. I choose watercolor in particular, and water-media in general, because it uniquely enables spontaneity and boldness, which I find critical to my artistic expressions. Texture, line and color are major elements of my work. I paint abstractly, inspired by landscapes and mood.”
