Artist Statement
I enjoy painting floral and organic shapes.
Working freely, I manipulate line and form to create a cohesive design.
By adding a stroke of paint, or sweeping a graphite pencil, I accept the challenge to proceed and apply the colors that surround me to interpret the sensations of life.
