The basis of painting an object, landscape, feelings, moods, etc., is the mark. A mark is made with the hand or a tool and each gives a unique expression. It is through marks I build a painting. Knowing what marks I love to make and how they relate to one another is my true work of an artist. So, I find it important to practice often. The more I have experienced, the more my paintings flow.

I warm up before I start to work on my paintings by making marks in my mixed media workbook and over the years the many workbooks have offered me insights and inspirations.

Setting aside time each week to explore freely , I discover new marks and ways they interact, what I like and how to make my paintings more dynamic.
