I’ve been drawing and painting my entire life, and I’ve had countless solo and group shows, but I feel like I’m just getting started. Art is truly a gift that keeps on giving. My paintings speak to people in a language that words can’t embrace. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to connect to other people through this creative energy. Similar to a jazz musician who hits certain notes to evoke emotion in the listener, I use subject matter, light, form and color to inspire my audience. I want to show creative energy as I see it; as a light-filled force that moves through people and the universe.
This creative energy has given my life a beautiful sense of purpose and meaning, and anytime another person is touched by my work, however slightly, I’m grateful.
