ART IS CENTRAL TO OUR SOULS
art is essential to our day-to-day being
art reaches us in a
visceral
nonverbal
sometimes joyfully delightful
sometimes achingly deep
sometimes challenging but needed
soul-full way.
art connects us
to each other
across time and space
to our ancestors
to our future
and to our most important
now
i make abstract art on a variety of materials and substrates, new and recycled. i use acrylics, watercolors, ink, charcoal, pen, pastels, and pencil. i sometimes add minimal 3-D objects (like the seals from jars or dried rose petals) for even more interesting play and intriguing results.
i am self-taught, delight in learning by doing, and letting the materials and creative process teach me. i am enthralled by color, texture, and flow. i find peace and excitement, wonder and restoration in doing art.
i hope my art allows you to spend time in wordlessness, exploring complexities as your eyes are drawn around the painting, to feel the colors and movement, the interplay of expanses, intricacies, and let it transport you to the inner place you need.
i am honored, moved by, and grateful for all who want my art to be in their world.
