As Agnes Martin said,  "art is the concrete representation of our most subtle feelings".  That's what I believe. I believe each shape, line and paint stroke carries weight and comes from the soul.

Drawing inspiration from the nuanced colors and movement in nature, I seek to distill color, contrast, and composition down to each essence, while maintaining a sense of spontaneity.  Using acrylic and oil on canvas, with wide brushes and squeegees, I fabricate the illusion of texture and layering. 

My art seeks to create a delicate balance between freedom and discipline.  Sometimes I ask myself, "If I were to paint a daydream, what would it look like?".  Come along on this journey with me and explore the beauty of the world through my eyes.  I like to play with the senses and bring forth the passion I want each one of us to experience.  Connection and emotions are the most important part of life.  I wish to connect each person to their deepest self and to the elements that surround us every day.
