I am always looking at how items in nature rest together, in communication and resting alone. Evaluating the bend of a branch and the twist of a petal. From here I determine the texture on which my painting will rest. I texture each canvas by hand and plan how each color and form will rest on the ridges created by my knife. When painting on cotton paper, the surface offers a calming place for my painting and I focus on clean brush strokes and earthly warmth in the open space.
