ARTIST STATEMENT

I paint not just because I love to, but also I need to.  Day and night, my hyperactive mind causes twisted words, incomplete stories, unexpected moods, and brief sleep.  When I paint, times slows down and I feel as though my mind is being cleansed as I become lost in a world of colors and freedom.  Painting for me is like meditation to others.  I believe I'm a better person because of it.  No matter what emotions or life experiences fill me, I always have the desire to paint.  Thoughts and emotions are released through blending, dabbing, dripping, layering, and scraping of paints.  The outcome is often unpredictable until my mood and experiences become permanently fixed through acrylic and mixed media.
