My paintings are about color and shape and how to best balance the two within a painting.  I often start out by marbling my paper or canvas in acrylics, allowing unusual patterns to develop on the paper. Later, I stand back and evaluate what’s there—often making the shapes into figures.  It’s that element of chance that keeps it interesting for me and (I hope) for the viewer. –Liz Walker
