Statement: Creating is a huge part of my life. Painting excites me. I am constantly discovering new techniques and insights into my art as I reinvent myself.
Critics have said my paintings explode with texture, color and space, infusing geometry with organic freedom. I like painting, sketching, and sculpting. I like abstract and semi-representational. My medium is primarily acrylic paint, but I also use different and sometimes unconventional media and substrates, exploring, daring, and pushing the limits.
