My abstract paintings are created using my original mixed media technique. Developed in 2012, my complex process combines ink and acrylics with epoxy resin. Careful layering and manipulation, with the addition of a household chemical and propane torch, produce explosive artworks. Stimulating paintings radiant with positive energy.

Concentrating on the process, rather than the possible meaning, my spontaneous creations are purely emotional. Relying on only gravity, patience, and self-restraint, I describe my artistic ritual as both liberating and exhilarating. my creative experience is a freedom like no other, achieved by relinquishing control to“ fluidity”, or the natural path of liquid, as it flows thick or thin, into and out of other streams. Colors combining as they wish, resisting the temptation to intervene, while I wait for the perfect moment to add a mist of chemicals causing an eruption of color or using a tool to drag a line of color through another. page 19
