I feel it is important as a visual artist to convey that which cannot be fully expressed in words, that which is sacred to the self. Painting for me is a spiritual conversation with the canvas. The majority of my work in the last few years has been the result of an interest in color, with an eye to vibrancy and movement. I am more interested in the cataloging of my daily emotions and ideas via conversation with the blank canvas, than producing a preconceived result. In the creative process I feel it's important to value what's in front of you - to pay attention, immerse yourself and respond....and for me, it's all about color. My passion is using color, texture and light to convey emotion. The goal of my work is to portray my inner self, emotion, and soul. I create to communicate a feeling that the viewer can "live in" for a while.
