Artist statement, “Color is the awakening force in my artwork. It evokes feeling and brings an intensity to the visual experience that is life. As soon as I let go of the notions of what I should be painting or what things should look like, something amazing happens. Subject matter becomes of less consequence and instead I can begin to capture a feeling or idea. That is what I’m trying to harness in my latest series of paintings.”
