Artist Statement
Abstract Expressions
My art is a reflection of my thoughts and experiences. I often think about a painting long before the image materializes. Introspection is what drives my work. I work on the floor so that I can have a 360 degree view and feel closer to the work. I apply multiple layers combining the various mediums such as acrylic, ink, pastel, etc. The painting evolves with each new layer as I proceed to clarify the message/feeling that I want to express. I strive to represent observations about the complexities of daily life using natural forms to express my thoughts. The themes of time, change, movement, transformation, are ever present in my work.
