Artist Statement As an artist I strive to create a painting that comes from the heart. It takes years of study to become a painter and I believe only then can you become an artist ... one who creates. This is where my journey has taken me.

I believe that a successful painting has a certain lyrical or rhythmic quality that will catch your eye from across a room. While sketching out the design of the original concept, I look for this quality. The melody has to be found from a deep search within myself, digging into places that are not always comfortable. It is from this place that I can overcome the conceptual problems that may be interfering with what I am trying to say. I want my paintings to be an authentic expression of the heart and brain connection that comes through the creative process. Something needs to happen between myself and the painting. If I can stick with it through the struggle, the painting feels more genuine.

I love to begin a painting with thin transparent washes and end with heavy strokes of paint. All my paintings are approached from the abstract design, while being careful to keep that design strong through the finish of the piece. I am drawn to the simplicity of form and strive to keep the simple passages. There are two parts of my design: dark patterns to make a statement, and light patterns to create a musical element. My desire is that I will not over-describe my subject matter, but to express the idea or feeling in a strong way.
