Sumi ink, Japanese watercolor and metal leaf

I have a BFA from George Washington University in painting and did 10 years of postgraduate study at the Corcoran College of Art. My work is in many private collections and has been exhibited in numerous juried exhibitions.

The basic structure of my paintings is established using Sumi Ink which I then enhance with Japanese Watercolor. There is a tradition of using metal leaf in Asian painting which I have integrated in many of my recent works. Finally, a thin layer of varnish is applied to protect the paint layers so I do not have to put the work under glass
