ARTIST STATEMENT

I love the physical process of applying paint to canvas. The spontaneous application of color and line to the prepared surface gives me a real sense of freedom and energy that connects the external world with my private interior space. I appreciate the dialogue that takes place between the painter and the work in progress. Each painting has its own demands, which evolves and reveals themselves through the process of painting.

For me, abstract art, like life, is always accessible and inaccessible at the same time. Both tangible and mysterious, abstract art contains the elements of surprise and spirituality.
