Artist Statement
My intuitive paintings celebrate explorations into nature and spiritual worlds. While they are perceived as abstract, many images appear with no preconceived plan. The canvases are filled with high energy, a variety of charged gestural strokes, and intense relationships that juxtapose calm with explosions of vibrant color.
These paintings are influenced by the soul and its moods, the inner beauty, chaos, and light and dark which exists in each of us. My muses throughout the years have been my affinity to the ocean, especially my inner mermaid, experiencing the power of shamanism, and the charismatic Leonard Cohen.
My creative process generates a sense of timelessness, outside the reach of the past and the future, as there is a letting go of my conscious mind, and a willingness to enter into the mystery of the unconscious and unknown.
