ARTIST STATEMENT/BIO
My paintings express the evolution of our life experiences. It's something we all have in common. We all encounter new places, people, and build memories. The layers of our lives - some smooth and some rough, some at the surface and some yet to be uncovered - are reflected in the artwork. I enjoy painting with acrylics, wall paint, hand-painted papers, markers, and other tools to give my work texture and flow. Bold colors make the work feel alive, and the movement and layers of each piece takes you on a journey. I call my works - structured abstracts. My work has been described as uplifting, energetic, and inspirational. The more you immerse yourself in the paintings, the more you feel. The shapes and colors encourage you to look beyond what you may originally see.
Similar to my personal experience, my work continues to evolve.
