About the Artist

I find myself continually drawn to the sensual pleasures of art – the smell of paint, the feel of the brush in my hand, the sound it makes as it glides and skips across canvas.  The act of painting transports me into a place of serenity and calmness.  I am fascinated by bold, clean, clear colors and how they work to transform even the most mundane subjects into sublime and fantastic creations.  I like to imbue my works with a sense of energy, as if the subject is resonating in the moment, by using a limited palette of primary colors along with texture and brushwork, and the incorporation of text.  I desire that people view the subjects I paint in a new way – finding beauty and energy in something that is generally considered dull, quiet and immovable.
