Statement

My paintings reflect the unfolding of my soul. The work that is created acknowledges the significance of individual layers within the vastness of our existence. Everything we are, see, and do is comprised of layers. The conditioned critic within may unnecessarily judge a certain layer as negative, wrong or a mistake. Until another layer is applied, and it is realized that the previous perceived mistake was necessary for the beauty you are now experiencing to emerge. I do not limit my work to one medium, style, or concept. Inspiration and ideas flow. Imagination and creativity are fluid. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension of the past, present, and future. It has taken me on a journey of self-discovery, invited me into deep presence where I am able to simply be, and invites me into the unknown of another future creation waiting to be grasped and pulled into form. The energetic imprints contained with my work draws those who resonate and allow them to feel and embrace the light and darkness within. To incrementally accept the paradox of life.
