An abstract painter, I create layered and atmospheric works, offering dreamlike impressions of worlds seemingly in the process of becoming. The paintings rely on the acceptance that I am a part of something larger than myself. Gestural marks are organic and free, while biomorphic forms and color relationships contribute to the sense that these are visions inspired by the subconscious. My practice is an attempt to work through vulnerability to intimacy to strength. There is no formula or conscious constraint to the process, other than working through the fear and exhilaration of the unknown.
