I create to let go, rejuvenate, and instill joy. Releasing my thoughts and emotions through paint on canvas, I alternate between intuitive marks and brushstrokes and carefully placed intentional drips. Sometimes hope, wonder and curiosity are at the forefront, while at other times it’s fortitude and resilience. Ultimately, my work is full of love and gratitude.
Nature, particularly flora and fauna, inspires me and my work. Beauty and new life in the natural world comforts me, and like a true friend, is always there when I look for it. My creative process requires organic, spontaneous, and intuitive creation as well as thoughtful, studied reflection. I add and remove elements until eventually coming to a place of resolution and contentment.
Through my work, I feel an intangible spirituality that somehow supports my inner strength and my search for imperfect beauty. I hope my art catches and holds viewers for a moment in which they feel connection and meaning.
