The goal and purpose of my art is to conjure up the perceptions of childhood. The act of painting a picture is, in itself, an innocent act of blind faith. We once knew with unquestioning wonder that the universe is truly magical. When we experience life from a place of excitement and discovery, anything becomes possible.
I work with fluid and heavy body acrylic paint on canvas and paper, often integrated with crayon, pastel, and colored pencil. My compositions include both naturalistic and purely non-objective forms. I enjoy working within the tension that develops between the abstract and representational, while using gestural brushwork, mark-making and a vibrant color palette. I focus on transforming the literal version into my own whimsical creation. My best work invites the viewer to experience a direct and dynamic expression of the complexities of nature.
