My paintings provide a sense of escapism for both the viewer and myself. As I create them, I seek to inspire curiosity and elicit a personal emotional response through meanings, ideas, and images. There is a dynamic quality to my abstract expressions; they change, evolve, and never look the same way twice. In my practice I focus on tones, gestures, and markings as a way to capture the energy of the texture and color. My current body of work is optimistic; shedding a positive light on the overwhelming darkness and uncertainty of the past year. Viewing my paintings as a manifestation of hope, I wish to transmit optimism and love for art through an ever-developing body of work.
