ARTIST STATEMENT

"I am interested in how spots of color advance and recede to produce tension and life, conveying how body, mind and spirit all interact with each other to produce joy, harmony, light, and energy. The rhythm of lights and darks with a melody line that informs, completes another painting, another story."
