When I paint, I look for this beauty in what surrounds me—the mountains, the birds and my love of wildflowers. I chose to work in black ink because it is a type of expressionistic painting that is done quickly that catches my inspiration from what is in my mind and what I see. Black ink painting is an ancient way of painting using brush, paper and black ink. This type of painting combines both drawing and painting techniques using different tones of ink and different brush strokes that bring life to a painting. My paintings represent how I see the beauty of nature that surrounds us that captures the energy of expression. |
