I try to captivate my audience with luscious colors, aesthetically pleasing lines, and a balanced composition.  My paintings are a glimpse of contemplation being released without initial constraints.  The direction I take my work is ignited by an emotional journey of expression.

 

I work in a variety of mediums, allowing me the ability to explore a diverseness of processes, while still being motivated by the same creative influences. I'm intrigued with unconventional perspectives and provoked by captivating colors.

 

Abstraction has played a significant role in my development as an artist.  The

embracing of this style, and the challenge of engaging the viewer encourages and drives my creativity. The subject matter of my work is influenced and inspired by experiences in my life, and my natural surroundings.

 

I allow for a more controlled and technical execution while designing and working with wood.  The works  I create and build are unique unto themselves.  I choose not to mass-produce or replicate pieces, allowing each one to have  its own mark. Every piece inspires and gives momentum to the next.

 

Working with wood as a medium permits me to explore and experiment with abstraction,  while introducing traditional elements.  Distinctive grains,  vibrant coloring, and natural textures in the wood, all act as a catalyst, driving the development and design of each piece.
