ARTIST STATEMENT
My work continuously circles back to the spontaneity, beauty and authenticity of abstract and expressive art – not focusing on what I see, but on how I feel – how feelings and energy can be interpreted in shape, texture, colour, line, and motion.In process my images are my own emotional filter to the outside world, my own state of being – yet upon completion I often realize that they reflect, to some degree, the collective experience, feelings, emotions, states of us in this process of life. Everything is connected.The creative process for me is a melding of inspiration, excitement, frustration, passion,panic, and chaos – but also peace, and connection – a way to stay present and explore thoughts, observations, reactions, - a visual record of an experienced moment.
