Artist Statement
Painting fascinates me because each work becomes a revelation of my soul. This process has taught me to trust, in all aspects of my life, that creativity will come when I allow myself to just be and let my art flow naturally. Art is an expression of my truth and cultivates my desire to feel alive.
My acting background influences each of my paintings as they come to life as separate performances. Although I have recurring themes throughout my work, each canvas depicts a particular storyline. It is my aim to portray a minimal amount of visual elements so the simplicity of the figures and/or objects sparks some meaning for the viewer. I work with thick individual applications of pigments to create texture with color. This technique brings forth my sense of play with the paint and color combinations.
I treasure my life and those who I am blessed to have in it. I believe that we all have the capacity and responsibility to go in peace and serve the world. Will you please join me, so we can make a difference together? In other words – it’s got to be us!
