What I love about water – ocean, lake, river, waterfall – is how it is always changing. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même. Change is inevitable. The challenge is how to capture the depth, the movement. In my abstract, acrylic paintings, water sometimes looks like water, but it also sometimes looks like space or sky. Honestly, it’s not something I always control. Some paintings just happen.

Although I've been obsessed with waterfalls lately, this could equally be rapids in a stream or snow on a mountain. Amazing how water can look the same, whether falling over a cliff, rushing around rocks, or frozen as snow. As I painted this, the painting morphed from water to snow and back.
