“Color Washes My Tears” expresses the polychromatic healing effects that have impacted the story of my life. In all its forms - paint, music, poetry and endless other iterations - colors are the smiles of nature that lift my spirit in so many ways.

To convey this, I integrate more than 30 layers of my manipulated photographic images with acrylic paint and a multitude of repurposed materials such as laundry lint, feathers, snake skin, palm bark, egg shells, and wood shavings.

As such, the drawers and closets in my studio are stuffed to the brim with materials I have collected for over 30 years each waiting to be integrated into future works.

Most of my two dimensional works are on canvas mounted on wood panels or on wooden crates. Typically, I take more than a year to develop a narrative around a series.
