Artist Statement

My artistic journey originates from my passion for the creative process and bringing my vision via images into tangible form. At its core, the work seeks to reveal our interconnectedness with life, each other, and the world around us. It suggests the transcendent within form. I frequently express the themes of love, unity, celebration, and transformation.

Creating art focuses my attention and expresses my internal landscape. Immersed and fully engaged in the creative process, many hours pass by unnoticed. My own rhythm and motion is merged with the paint brushes and camera.

I primarily work with acrylic paint and photography, incorporating mixed media, encaustics, gold leaf, collage, and body casting. Painting offers a spontaneous freedom of expression through color, texture, shape, and balance. Photography captures content, context, and nuances of light. It is a merging of what I observe in my surroundings, and enhancements or modifications that I have added to the scene.

My intention is to craft images that are transformative and positive, uplifting the viewer, and evoking a sense of wonder and possibility.
