ARTIST STATEMENT

I infuse thick, juicy, layered paint, energetic brush strokes, striking color combinations and graphic cropping in all of my work. Art tends to be good for everyone involved, whether it stimulates activism for an important cause or brings pure entertainment. Some of my work reflects the “Instagram Generation” highlighting the fact that social media is here to stay. Select pieces depict the new self-assured image of women and men and the next generation of empowerment. What I strive for while painting, is to capture excitement. I hope that when the viewer walks away from seeing my paintings that they feel something, anything. Perhaps they will want to create themselves. The viewer may become awakened and realize “this is it.” We only have one life, enjoy it, relish in the turmoil, the achievements, try and take it all in, no need to bypass life with all of its ups and downs. Again, I infuse thick, juicy, layered paint, energetic brush strokes, striking color combinations and graphic cropping so that one can feel the delight in living, the energy. Embrace it. When words no longer seem to convey, I’m compelled to paint. Paintings must come out for me, almost like a sneeze. Rick Rubin said it best in his book The Creative Act, A Way of Being, "As artists, we aim to live in a way in which we see the extraordinary hidden in the seemingly mundane. Then challenge ourselves to share what we see in a way that allows others a glimpse of this remarkable beauty.
