Artist Statement
As a contemporary painter, I am interested in interpreting subject and emotion in an abstract, intuitive way. The process, daring paint application, color, texture, and the element of discovery inspire me. As a painting evolves, I react to the dialogue between us until the work is finished. Every painting is a new and exciting journey.
