My abstract expressionist artwork is a reflection of my soul. The idea of expression is a reflection of life experiences' a combination of inner and outer world influences.

The work is often a spontaneous response to my environment, nature and experiences from my life past and present. I have a unique relationship with color; it is my mantra. Sometimes the colors reflect nature and is purposefully chosen and at other times it may depend simply on the available colors in my studio. The variety of paintings are: watercolor, acrylic, oil and mixed mediums. I often use collage, photo transfer and gold leaf for emphasis in the mixed medium paintings.

My work day is usually a two to four hour window in the studio; it varies from three to four days a week and I usually work on two or more works simultaneously as my creative thoughts readily change and I find I may go back and work on things that I thought were finished but were not. I enjoy working on multi size works but the large works often give me ample opportunity to explore my mark and challenge my design mind for creative thinking. I also enjoy the process of working in a series that allows for opportunities to make a broader statement or to work through new materials and/or techniques. I have learned to pace myself as I spend more time thinking and looking at my work. This takes time and I find that some days are merely thinking days where I spend time researching other artists that inspire me. Many thanks for the artists who continue to inspire me, some living and others who have passed whose legacy I will always be grateful for.

It is always my desire that the viewer is engaged and experiences a new response from viewing my work. My hope is to continue to express significant content through the creative process that has a universal impact and appeal.
