ARTIST STATEMENT
My mission is to create paintings that are uplifting for the viewer and for myself. A strong element throughout my work is light – both physically and spiritually – through a combination of realism and abstraction. I try to capture a sense of spontaneity and tranquility or movement, energy and exhilaration through the interaction of colors and shapes. To that end, I often use bright, bold colors or soft pastels. I like to work more by feeling than technique, letting the painting in a sense “create itself” with myself as the conduit to the visual message. So it is therefore more about flow than form. Though I’ve worked with oils and watercolors, my favorite medium is acrylics.
There is no right way to interpret my art. My hope is that it is uplifting for the viewer. Ultimately my art is an invitation “to dream.”
