Artist Statement

The human form and face are the most important elements in my paintings. The figure dominates the work and is depicted as a shadow, ghost, aura, or energy form. Sometimes anonymous, other times with a recognizable mien.

Different mediums allow me to express diversity and movement in my work. Colors make me dance and painting is my passion, the oxygen to my creative lungs. I prize color for its powerful symbolism and employ it to communicate emotion and mood.

The painting process is more of an experimental conversation rather than something planned. Each successive layer of paint is a reaction to the layer that came before - a dialogue between myself, the colors, and the painting. I have found that the best work comes from conversations in which I have done the most careful listening.
