It’s the adventure into the unknown that fills me with joy. When people say they “can’t” I ask”why not?”. Creativity is a constant discovery that only comes from trying. I discovered a passion for painting when I was told to just play with the paint. I let go of what I had been taught, embraced the mystery of what was to come, and had fun with it. Using a single brush, bold brush strokes, and blending directly on the canvas, I reach a point of spontaneity, painting over areas only to bring them back. I call it realistic abstract expressionism. My work is about perspective, evoking emotion, appreciating and celebrating the parts that make the whole, and the undefined areas that pass on the mystery of creation to the viewer.
