I
have
an
immense
appreciation for art in
all of its forms from dance to
sculpting to music to written/
spoken word to drawing and
painting. It’s a true love affair
with inner workings that often
go misunderstood.
My personal love for the arts began when I was a child with painting
and photography. It progressed into a passionate culinary experience
and profession, and has taken form once again in painting. My work
is not derived from any one muse or issue, nor based upon any
particular social commentary. Much of it comes from some sort of new
understanding into the power and beauty I see in life. It could
be something I felt while watching a ballerina dance, a chef
prepare a meal, or a model walk the runway.
I believe there is an artistic translation and expression for
everything. While there is no particular pattern I follow at this
particular
moment
in time, I do find that
movement and vivid
color is what is most
consistent
in
my
work. There is the
power to agitate or
soothe in movement.
The moment typically
dictates which we’ll
experience.
Color
is an ever useful
communicator,
and
serves as effective subject matter. It speaks a language all its
own, and currently I choose to focus on perfecting my use and
understanding of it. For every work I complete, there is a new
understanding and appreciation for it.
