Artist Statement
Imaginative, intuitive and intrepid, I am a self taught abstract expressionist. My painting mediums
include acrylics, watercolors, pastels, oil bars, pens and in fact anything that can make a mark on
my canvas. Having decided later in life to make art my life’s work, I am here to explore the
frontiers of where I can take it. My works are innate expressions of the unspoken volumes within
us. Often time in abstracts, it is the thing that we can’t put a finger on that beckons, delights
and heals us. Shapes, lines, marks and colors speak to my interiority and those conversations are
what I endeavor to bring out on paper.
The theme of nature also runs strong through many of my works; intuitive and joyful interpretations
of nature inspired landscapes, flora and fauna. In showcasing the abundance and beauty of nature’s
gifts, I hope to highlight the importance of protecting the good earth for our children.
