My work explores the balance between clarity and mystery and hopes to inspire folks to interpret the images and feelings in the work with their own unique spirit and imagination. I believe everything is connected and that my collective endeavors as a performing, visual and teaching artist all play a significant role in the directions I take in my paintings. My creation process is open and meditative, I rarely have a set plan for the outcome and am able to practice being in the moment and painting with both effort and ease. I am continuing to develop a balance between going too far and holding back too much. The artworks speak about nature, mystery, loss, loneliness, joy and movement...the stuff of life.

My influences draw deeply from the modern spirit of Abstract Expressionism, rooted in the belief that art is often a reflection of the self in it’s truest form. My art aims to be a reflection of the collective, giving life to what we know to be clear and what we imagine to be. I am convinced that peace grows with the acknowledgement of duality, the appreciation of the constant state of two things...rising and falling, light and dark, peace and chaos, fast and slow, messy and clean.”

I like building levels, creating depth and working towards minimalism, an endeavor that transcends art and becomes a life’s work. I've been painting changing skies for many years, it's been a constant. Ultimately, my paintings hope to invite peace and magic and to give all of us an opportunity to feel more alive and connected to each other and to the beyond.
