My Journey

I specialize in abstract concepts with acrylic on canvas and paper.

Life experiences are the focus of bold abstractions rendered primarily in acrylic on canvas and paper. Paintings range in scale from small spontaneous studies to large-scale canvases. I often paint to music that evokes spontaneity.

All About Me

I've been painting all of my life. While being an artist is a difficult tug-of-war between my inner dreamer and critic, I've grown to love this process. It hasn't just taught me about the world, but also about myself.
