Artist Statement:
The first brush stroke starts
a mapping process of constant
motion and discovery. Through
the act of pushing, scraping,
dripping, and throwing the
paint, I create a visual
history of my own response to
these complex, chaotic
elements. The journey I take
mirrors my own personal
philosophy. In my
experience—no matter how much
planning takes place—the
future remains unknowable, but
by being fully aware and
integrated in the present
moment I can be more conscious
of the decisions that help to
shape my future.
Nowhere is this more apparent
to me than in the process of
creation where my art becomes
a personal meditation. By
using many colors and textures
freely, my paintings are born
out of energetic pandemonium.
This process continues as I
search to bring balance and
harmony to the chaos by
synchronizing multiple diverse
elements in one final
composition.
