Artist's Statement
I create art to communicate what I cannot express in words. My abstract paintings are often informed by memories of a garden, a cloud, a warm embrace. Unconfined to an outcome, I make a mark then contemplate composition, form and color over and over-a meditation in optimistic colorful motion. I hope to impart my joy of surrendering to playfulness and intuition as it leads to the discovery of the finished piece.
