Oaxaca, OAX · Watercolor & Folk Art · 17 years active

“My studio is a tiled courtyard room in Oaxaca where bougainvillea climbs right over the door. Painting alebrijes taught me that a bold color only sings next to a calm one. I wet big sheets, throw down magenta and jacaranda purple with a loaded brush, tilt the board to let them run, and finish with spatters of mango gold.”
