    Artist Statement

    My painting is an intuitive journey to a happier and more energized self. Through paint I am able to connect to my creative pulse where I find the abstract artist I truly am meant to be. On the canvas I move with freedom and play by intuiting colors, marks and textures using acrylics and drawing materials. What comes out is very raw, honest and abstract—and is a response to the energy and beauty I feel when I am observing nature. I want to share my colorful abstract works with the world to evoke, enliven and bring joy into people’s lives.
    I begin a painting by intuitively choosing a color palette and mixing. My energy builds through this process and I decide on a canvas size. I use quick body movements and marks to help set the compositional stage. My process is a combination of strong emotions and interpreting responses to the marks I have made in front of me with brushes, palette knives, crayons and other unconventional tools. This dialogue continues until I am satisfied the painting is working as a whole and I really love it. I am definitely influenced by abstract expressionist women artists.
