Artist statement
I generate my ideas through emotional responses, connecting to nature, following marks, and embracing color. Rarely is the outcome predetermined; instead, it evolves with each layer and brushstroke. If I am successful, my work trandsends "paper or canvas" and evokes feelings, a time, or a place. My strongest work results from being fully present and engaged with my materials. Creating art affirms my spirit of being alive.
