About
artist Statement
My body is a sponge, soaking up the environment, and then allowing those emotions to seep into my work. I let my feelings spill onto the canvas in any shape or form--bold, quiet, saturated, curious. It all flows so naturally. The lines, marks and colors mix with past achievements and hidden traumas. It's easier than talking. I paint incessantly until the sponge wrings dry and there is nothing left in me.
