Artist Statement
Painting is to me what meditation is for others. Being self taught, I learn through trial and error and rigorous practice. I find the process of staying focused on a piece and bringing a blank canvas to life extremely therapeutic and rewarding.
It almost always starts with the colors I'm in the mood for and then my imagination takes over. There's a freedom in letting go and just being able to express myself through colors and shapes and scenes that start to unfold with each brushstroke, all leading to a unique composition every time. While sometimes I may choose to use smooth brush strokes, at other times I like to create layers and texture. Oils and Watercolors are my preferred media.
Whether it's an abstract or a landscape, a still life or a floral, each painting is an extension of me, carrying a piece of my heart within. Hopefully the viewers can embark on this journey with me and explore their feelings with each creation. After all, that's the beauty of art...connecting people together!
