My paintings reflect my belief that life is full of endless
possibilities and what is important is not what is on the
surface. There is often movement and a flow of energy in my work
which signifies life’s changes and the importance of capturing
the moment while it can still inspire. The viewer often comments
on my dramatic use of colors.
Through my use of vibrant colors, I am communicating a sense of
hope and optimism and the importance of dreaming large in life.
In many of my pieces, there is a strong feeling of connectedness
which attempts to address the isolation that many of us feel. My
art work is a reminder to look inside for what is truly
important. I am always pleasantly surprised to hear discoveries
are made when gazing at my abstract pieces.
