"In my watercolors I strive for quickness, simplicity, and boldness with keeping fear at bay; And most importantly, to reach emotional contact with my subject - if not it is just hard work. I have done and will have a lot of hard work; I go in without expectations, remain flexible to whatever occurs at the moment and have the courage to run with it."
