Statement: I create art to connect to my own spirit and to transcribe experience in a way that can not only be understood, but felt, by others. My work articulates movement, kinetic growth, conversations between shapes. A thriving metamorphosis that continually changes with layer upon layer of paint or ink.

I work intuitively. My brush strokes are rapid and gestural. I scratch into paint, employ squiggles and energetic lines to encourage tempo and rhythm. Vibrant color excites me, I combine hues that sing together or possibly provide an interesting contrast. The canvas is a living, breathing form for me that is emerging, changing, always growing.

As a practicing therapist and an artist, I discern countless visceral emotions through color. Identifying feeling in its most raw, unfiltered state, I can better understand the origin of emotion. I am interested in knowing more about the source of their creation, their beauty, and our shared humanity and sense of connection.

In bringing color and form to the substrate, I create a space for dialogue. My intention is that the viewer and the artwork find commonality that extends both beneath and beyond language.
