STATEMENT

When I paint, I usually have a single thought that influences a new piece.  I sketch out very little on the canvas, instead, I spend the bulk of the preparation looking for a playful harmony to express my “idea”,  by experimenting with color combinations and the addition of different mediums. I especially like things that are soft and fluid, with bright bursts of color.  Many of my paintings are done with fluid acrylic and oil which creates pieces with very few boundaries, yet the impression of something more specific and defined needles its way into the picture.

Art has always had a soft spot in my heart.  It can take you away, make you curious, and enchant you.
