About Wo

Artist Statement

My art practice is inspired by land and sea explorations  from the Arctic Circle to the Great Barrier Reef. Blue water sailing and hiking across various landscapes has provided the palette and motivation to expand  and abstract these vistas.  As an oil, acrylic and encaustic painter, I work with natural ground pigments on wood, canvas and washi paper. My work focuses on presenting colors, textures and unusual perspectives in abstract land and seascapes.
