Reflections Series

The ebb and flow of water and how it distorts and enhances light, color and images reflected in it - especially when mixed with other elements - has always captured my attention and emotion. As a young girl, I remember watching the sunlight dance on the lake or finding beauty in the oily sediment that pools near the shores. Even the brightly colored patches of oil from passing cars mixing with water on the roads or the way water and chemicals streamed over my dad's windows in a car wash on a Saturday afternoon seemed beautiful to me. In my Reflections Series, I worked to capture the emotion of light, color, texture and movement in these watery combinations.
