Artist Statement
Art has the power to be transformative, to rearrange our vision of the world and create bridges to connect us, to lead us to a greater understanding of the world we share, and those we share it with.
With intuitive movements and marks, I create organic shapes that symbolize nature’s powerful ability to unite us. Art making is my way to connect to the creative force of the subconscious. Universal symbols of unity, wholeness and infinity conjure our great human potential. The lines and circles in my paintings, represent the bridges that cross over the chasms that separate us, bringing us together to walk a shared path on Earth. What we choose to see and believe will determine how we live, not just where we live. Let’s build the puzzle of our life on this planet with care and empathy.
