Alchemy

The medium I choose to work with is not separate, but a part of the process. Most paintings consist of Sennelier Aquarelle and various metallics. I chose Sennelier not solely for their rich pigment, but also ingredients, specifically honey. Bees and hives are very mystical. It’s a huge study. There is such an element of creation in the process of honey making that connects directly with the earth. It’s tangible science, but also ethereal art. I find that blending to be essential.  

Likewise metallics are made from metal flakes and minerals. They have a sheen to them that is transparent and hints again at the “other”.
