ARTIST'S STATEMENT

The art I create speaks of colors bold and subtle, compositions wild and restrained, marks loud and delicate. I am willing to jump into a painting or collage without fully knowing what’s coming or what it’s “about”. My north star is “Does it feel joyful, free, and expansive?” If anything, my art is about more color, more joy, "letting it rip”. Now, more than ever, I create because I need more of that energy, and who else doesn’t?

Exposed to textiles from an early age through my family’s fabric store, I am drawn to varieties of color and pattern, and am inspired to investigate differences, juxtapositions, and repetitions of color, line, and shape.

In exploring the tension of opposites, harmonies, and subtleties, I cover and make space for depth, inner and outer resonance, and/or conversation among the elements. Relying on the spirit of play, experimentation, and intuition to surprise, my process is one of risk-taking and discovery.

I invite you to feel what you see.
