My preferred medium is egg tempera -- the yolk of an egg is mixed with powdered pigment. It's then brushed onto a wooden panel, which has been coated with a chalk/glue ground called "gesso." I am enthralled with the sensuality of its handling and the optical effects that can be achieved.

Egg tempera is known as a difficult medium that requires many hours of preparation, and building up numerous layers of paint. I believe this effort supplies the traction I need to produce the pure and intense art that I strive towards.
