Artist statement

As a Lifelong Creative, I followed the “right path” for many years before questioning it. After earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in Civil Engineering, years working in IT Corporate America, and a successful Entrepreneur Business Exit, I now paint abstract artwork full time with an intention to find my self.

When fear, frustration, and breaking points are embraced while creating, the tension-suppression-intention dance produces dynamic, energetic, and meaningful artwork I'm proud of. My creative spirit won the battle if I cannot comprehend, replicate, or explain a painting I just finished. The more my creative spirit is empowered to express, the more comfortable I can create on the edge of breaking. I believe this space within my work will reveal my true self and purpose over time.
