Play is the beginning of all creativity!
My paintings are often characterized by vibrant colors, expressive brushstrokes and flowing movement. I begin by stepping into the moment and starting right where I am emotionally.
I start with a single stroke and "Follow the Paint" to see where it will take me. I love painting many layers while using different techniques to reveal underlying elements, adding dimension to the painting.
Creating a painting can be a long process, as I typically paint for two to three hour sessions at a time. Upon completion, I always see profound connections between my life experiences and what the painting reveals. My paintings are my story.
"A painting is never finished, it simply stops in interesting places"
Paul Gauguin
