I’m a visual artist who is fascinated with color, inviting viewers to places they haven’t been.

I work frequently in oil and oil paint stick on canvas and wood panels, and I often incorporate collage elements in my artwork. My abstract paintings, collages, and works on paper frequently take inspiration from landscape and the surroundings. These images express in exciting and spirited color my enthusiasm for, and translation of, the natural world.

In my abstract artworks, color is an important element, and I oftentimes employ luscious, vibrant, and intense hues. Frequently, as I’m working with color, unusual spatial relationships and somewhat unconventional compositions manifest themselves, and this appeals to my visual sensibility.

My paintings and collages result from a rather intuitive process, and they are built up layer upon layer, with varied colors, expressive strokes of paint, and also often textured materials, until the image emerges triumphant.
