I was born and raised in Los Angeles and have painted all my life.
Whether I am working with a still life, the human figure, or a landscape, I am always fascinated by texture, form and color which I use in expressing how I feel about what I am seeing. I do not limit myself in what I paint or how I might interpret what I see. This freedom allows my work to move from representational to impressionistic to minimalist to abstraction. My work is continually changing, challenging and always a passionate delight. It is always my intention to address the canvas directly, honestly, and boldly. My heart is always pushing my work to find new language in expressing what I see and how I feel about it. The result therefore is not just an intellectual exercise for me, it is being involved in the “Now”……….always open for change and challenge ……..always evolving, and bringing a little peace to my all over the place, life.
Exploring color, composition, the quality and attitude of a line, as well as various materials and subjects will always fascinate and be tools for me. It is my goal to draw the viewer into my space and let them become involved in their own personal journey and discovery of the work... whether they want to or not. The ultimate reward for me is to communicate something new to the viewer, even if for just a moment in time.
Painting is my commitment, my passion and my fulfillment.
I am honored by those who find inspiration from my work.
