Artist Statement:
I am inspired by the “energy” of a place and capturing that moment of time. I am drawn to the language of color and light, the invitation into experiencing life by the moment. It’s important that the fundamental elements of design are the basis for my work, and then also to say something new with my own expression, through intuitive marks. I make art not only for the physical experience of creating, but to somehow bring healing and joy.
