The work I create is rooted in discovery. The shapes, forms, and colors used are found during a process of improvisation and experimentation. Music plays an integral part in the creation process and is constantly used as inspiration in my artwork. I am often absorbed in the play between sound and color in my studio. It helps me find a rhythm to painting. My hope for this work is that it evokes emotion in the viewer similar to the way music moves the listener. I often work with discarded materials and experiment with many mediums from Plexiglass and cardboard to layering paint on Fine Art prints. This free form expression style of painting has given me constant insight into freedom and autonomy.
