"My work comes out of my early and continued exposure to many cultures,
my love of color, texture, and pattern, and my search for essence and
universality. I believe that just as archetypical characters and themes
resonate for us regardless of our heritage, abstract shapes and colors
effect us in a similar way. My paintings are my attempts at creating a
visual dance from these elements and to convey movement, energy, and beauty.
I am inspired by people who are motivated by the human impulse to create
beauty as a physical manifestation of their spirit - as an expression
of their being - and by the works they create that reflect authenticity.
There is a great power in artistic expression, as we have seen through the
ages. As an artist, I feel compelled to attempt to create images that move
people in a positive way - toward the light and out of the darkness."
