In my world, emotions are colors and texture is life. Bold strokes and abstract impressions meet with a thoughfully prepared surface as I attempt to share an intimate story with my audience. Each painting begins with a personal reflection that is formed in color; then etched, brushed or scrubbed onto the surface to become another page in my novel of life. Together, these colors and textures share a brief but candid glimpse of my own private world, thoughts and sentiments at a given moment.
