ARTIST STATEMENT:
I often get lost when I paint. The colors of the paints veil a hazy path; from that the work begins. 

There becomes a give and take, push and pull between the canvas, paint, brushes, time and me. My joy is when I am able to see, feel, carve and place where the paint wants to be. The finished piece being a moment when all elements fit like a puzzle. My aim being that I’ve created something honest; something that conveys an intuition that another may experience.
