ARTIST STATEMENT
I'm interested in the way my body wants to move in response to my internal experience. I find it amusing to witness paradoxes that compete on the canvas as I embody both the awkward and the elegant, the bold and the insecure, the honest and the exaggerated. I paint how I feel before I understand it, and my work takes on deep meaning when it leads to aha moments and transformational revelations. I want to see emotion, process, and resolution in the texture, colors, composition, and markings. The more sincere I can be as I work, the more satisfying it is to create.
​
I create wildlife, figures, landscapes and abstracts with emotive marks that bubble up spontaneously. I approach the canvas with playfulness, grace, honesty and humor. Using brush and knife, I paint alla prima in either oil or acrylic. My gestural lines, sweeping brush strokes, and curious color combinations mimic the way I move in the world.
