When I enter the studio, it is with a sense of excitement, anticipation and play. Whether I am painting or collaging or assembling, it is without a preconceived notion of how the piece will look when completed. This allows me to react and respond to what is happening on the surface. I can begin a piece and then follow where it takes me. I ask myself “what if?” a lot. I learn from every artistic endeavor and use that new found knowledge to start at a different place each time I create.

“Nancy Stark of Roanoke, Virginia, came across one of her best painting subjects purely by accident. She was watching trains with her husband, an avid train watcher, and was struck by the distinct shadow patterns and bright sunlight on the train cars.” — Lynn Moss Perricelli - Watercolor Magazine
