I love painting. Being an artist has been a unexpected journey for me, one where my work seems to have a life of it's own. With the barrage of digital information coming at us so quickly, the process of painting and choosing what I want to see has been refreshing for me. With color I can create space, I can create emotion. That is where I begin and then eventually imagery starts to emerge.
My process is a meditation on color and texture. I construct my paintings intuitively, alternately applying, sanding and re-applying layers of acrylic paint. The resulting image, with its deep visual texture and luminous colors, convey the serenity and simplicity that are my primary goals
Painting is a way for me to express myself. It allows me the freedom to be playful or serious—whatever emotion that I wish to express at a given moment. My desire is for the paint to flow effortlessly, clearing my mind while I work. Serenity and simplicity are my primary goals. A graphic designer by trade, my art plays with proportion and composition, bringing my design sense together with the expressiveness of the paints I use.
I love to discover beauty,
I love to paint.
