Artist Statement

I love the excitement of a blank canvas, which to me signifies a new journey into uncharted territory.

I first paint with self-abandon and childlike playfulness guided by the heartfelt sounds of melodies that touch my soul.

As I continue to build up rich layers using my favorite tools and colors, my mark-making and brush strokes become more deliberate and focused.

Rather than telling you a story, my aim is to transport you to another world where you can experience your own story within my painting.
