Artist Statement:

​

I am an abstract artist working primarily with acrylics on canvas. I work intuitively as I respond to each mark finding relationships of form and color. I am influenced by the abstract expressionists with their bold marks, the harmonious compositions of the Renaissance masters, and the automatic drawings of the surrealists. Rather than illustrating what already exists, my work expresses my reaction to the spiritual in life, drawing inspiration from my adventures in nature. Each painting is a journey, unfolding as I go, taking me to a place I could never imagine.
