Medium: Watercolor
Technique:
Vitreous flux water media is the absolutely magnificent visual effect created by using a micro- thin layer of water color on a hard board. The affect is like moving liquid light.
Abundance
Inspiration:
David C.Baker my mentor, and inventor of this technique, passed this on to me more than 30 years ago. His art spirit and exuberant love of life kindled my art awakening, leading to endless discoveries and creativity. Life presents inspiration to be recreated in art. I am a Lightsplasher and my inspiration comes from an attunement with Nature and the greater part of myself aligned with Divine Guidance and the Supreme Creator.
Philosophy:
I beleive that as an artist it is an opportunity to pay attention and speak truth through painting. My work is a meditation that uplifts, and reminds the viewer to see the beauty in this world and take it to heart .
