I spent over a decade building my body of work and a career in visual arts. I became more focused on the softer conversations between colors as they blend. The relationship between color as emotional condition and the weighting of and atmosphere became my narrative. Simply put I am excited about the quiet language between the materials as they collide with one another; like how a blue can melt into a red in this intimate exchange of territorial moods. When approaching my work, play is necessary for discovery if for no other reason than the intimidation and vastness the blank canvases potentially hold. Once a mark is down, I build lasting relationships. Making a painting unlocks the loudest voices inside me and creates the quietest spaces within me.
