My artistic fervor is driven by intuitive decisions. I believe creativity is what happens to all of us when the spark of inspiration is ignited, the sparks are always present, mine are always “lit” and I need to create as often as possible.  I am an abstract, expressionistic, some figurative, semi-disciplined and most times frantic painter. I do stray to other mediums as the mood strikes, sometimes mixing mediums, but back to painting to keep me grounded.

I work quickly, more to satisfy the desire to create than because of time restraints, although there is never enough time.  I do not have the end result in mind as this would ruin the dynamic between me and my creations.   I do not like to permanently part with anything I have created unless it belongs with someone who feels the energy that is the work. 

My paintings are reworked many times over, an intuitive process. I am a colorist, intense color is a very moving component and I am careful not to override this with shape and content. Color comes first. Subtle lighting will enhance the vibrancy of my paintings.

I feel what I am painting, then I look at what I am feeling and decide if I want to dig deeper – change course or just embellish with as light a heart as possible.
