ARTIST STATEMENT
I create abstract oil paintings. In my work, I strive to discover the raw energy and beauty of creation. My process is intuitive as I explore patterns in the randomness and chaos of flowing color. Bright light often emerges into ethereal atmospheres, revealing forms which are rooted in the earth’s elements and hint at a connection to the infinite.
