I start with intentions, layering line and marks intuitively. The lines flow dynamically to create movement. Some are strong and bold, others whisper. Then adding color in multiple layers, and scraping back to reveal under layers reveals happy surprises. The essence of my work is to be evocative and passionate. Inspired by the beauty of nature in its glory and its decaying forms, my goal is to let the viewer bring their own personal experiences and feelings to interpreting the work. Hoping my paintings cause of uplifting energy, inspiration, a moment of escape and a sense of beauty.
