For me, painting is a way of exploring my inner self. It is a personal reflection of my feelings and how I relate to the world around me. It might be music, a life experience or an emotion that inspires me to begin a painting. Once the paint touches the canvas, an intuitive process takes hold. My purpose is to create from a place of recklessness that abandons all expectations and my hope is to embrace the result. My joy comes from what emerges as the process unveils the unique qualities of each piece.
