I paint with acrylics on watercolor paper, using the process of layering the paint and scratching back to reveal unique colors and textures in my paintings.
 
Expanding Spiral - I created this painting after having researched the Golden Mean Spiral with the thought of a seashell that follows that same pattern.  I began with painting a large seashell shape diagonally across the page but quickly it started looking more like a DNA strand. I kept working on it adding layers of spirals. I like the three-dimensional quality of the shape and the vivid colors of the various elements.
