I am influenced by an emotional connection to art and most things that make life interesting. World events, love, trauma, and nature certainly play a role. My work is a purposeful and mostly intuitive motion. I love the sheer joy of the paint hitting a surface. A paintbrush warrior.

"The surface lends itself to my way of communicating life. The images I create are a personal interpretation of my energy. I strive to challenge the viewer's eye and mind to travel through their own emotion and hopefully emerge with a new and fulfilling experience.
I utilize materials that I have collected and enjoy combining the old with the new. I work in layers, much like my life itself. Texture is important to me and I can't get enough. I love rediscovering and recycling my artwork: It is a total resurrection.

 

Art making gives me the courage to advocate for myself and to hang on with such a passion. Art is an always present and unconditional partner.
