Artist Statement:
My work is an ongoing
experiment with color, shape
and texture.I approach each
peace with an open mind, not
expecting any predetermined
outcome. Within each work, no
matter how abstract, I search
for harmony in what may appear
disorderly or indefinable. I
let my guard down and my mind
wonder spontaneous and free,
exposing me to the unexpected.


I am compelled by ancient art,
modern music and dance. It
inspires me; it gives me the
spark that ignites my
creativity. The artists that
influenced my artistic vision
the most are Robert
Motherwell, Helen
Frankenthaler, Richard
Diebenkorn, Cy Twombly and
Willem de Kooning.

In an effort to explore a
visual language, my paintings
communicate an emotion behind
an experience. My work
suggests the somewhat
transient yet permanent nature
of memories, the tangible and
the ephemeral, glimpses of the
future evolving with
experiences of the past.

I let the brush dictate the
direction, which allows the
subconscious to speak on it’s
own terms. I allow layers of
thoughts and feelings to move
at their own tempo. In this
sense, like in dance, I strive
for rhythm, one that pulses
and breathes in each work,
keeping it alive, vibrant and
fresh. ...

Why Did You Become An Artist I become an artist because I love to experiment and create. I just have an urge to do it! I enjoy it! I love it!
